DIY Tools Back Drop/Mirror

Just added a new DIY tool to Trashflies.com. There are lots of mirrors and back drops commercially available. The designs are really good for vise with 3/8" shafts. I use a Nor-Vise and they just don't fit. I'm not all that interested in having a back drop attached anyway. Check out my idea for a recycled design.

DIY Tools (new)

Just added to two new tools under the DIY Tools section. The Threader was a idea that came to me as we were cleaning out some computers and throwing away some accumulated junk at work. The Deer Horn tools were an attempt at something traditional and cool for my tying bench. Traditional materials appeal to me sometimes. They work surprisingly well. I really like the feel and comfort.

South Holston Fly Fishing Festival

I was a tier at the South Holston Fly Fishing Festival this past weekend. My son and wife were along to enjoy a long weekend on the river. We rented a place right below Webb Bridge on the South Holston. It was nice in the early mornings and late evenings.
I was outside in a tent tying Sat. and Sun in 90 plus degrees.



Here is a pic of my table at the festival



I sold this fly display at the end of the show to a local fly fishing lodge.






Monday was for relaxing and getting a little fishing time in.



It was a great vacation. I'm looking forward to the PFF in October. It will definitely be cooler by then. :D

As school and workshop have ended I am now putting together the framework for TrashFlies.com. Been a while in thought and it's now time to start fleshing it out. I think it's gonna be fun.
