Still mounting flies....
....belatedly realizing that the 'Busy Beaver" hobby shop - located well back
from a not so well traveled road - might not be the best place to pick up chicks . . . I got all dolled up, we're talking old spice cologne, and went to "Michaels Arts & Crafts" over by the mall. I was in heaven - a veritable multitude of warm womanly flesh just being all arts and craftsy. Well, I am in my golden years. That means that something else will kill me besides the lingering death of any sexually transmitted desease. However, golden years to the occupants and visitors to this establishment meant that they would call me sir. Sir. Like I was their freaking grandpa or something. I did just flat out tell the cashier (with whom I had been carrying on a rather witty conversation in my opinion) that I'd like to buy her some candy. She must have thought about it because she told me , "Ummm, that would be 'too' kinky." Anyhow, what ideas I have been able to come up with so far have been photoed and posted over in fishing abpf. I'd really like some input here fellows or I'll just keep typing...he,he,he... john |

SNIP I'd really like some input here fellows or I'll just keep typing...he,he,he... john Look in an electrical shop for the cable end sleeves used by electricians etc. Mount these on your backing board. One end is flared, use a drill to make a hole the same size as the sleeve, push the sleeve into the hole, put a drop of glue on the flare, and push in tight. Use tinned wire to loop through these, and hold the fly. You can also use thin monofilament. You can find these things all over the place, these are gold plated, and look very nice indeed; http://www.takefiveaudio.com/wbt_str..._insulated.htm although they are not cheap. These endsleeves are available in a whole range of types and sizes. A packet of 100 chromed, or nickel plated costs less than a dollar. TL MC |
