She made them using a thicker, easy to see red flannel material. |

If your wife/girlfriend or someone you know has a sewing machine, they are pretty easy to make. JT I was the one that brought a sewing machine to my partnership. We have since upgraded, but on my input the replacement has heavy material capabilities. I make my own rod socks--preferred material is fiberglass window screen sewn with sailmaking dacron. It makes a really light rod sock, doesn't absorb water, and any moisture introduced dries out easily. The semi-rigidity of it as sewn up makes a reasonable shock absorber. Mike |

Why? I haven't used one before, and don't plan to learn any time soon. I don't know what it is about sewing machines. I'm probably well above average as a user and fixer of mechanical things; but like you, I've had virtually no experience with Mr. Singer's device. Methinks it's that the things are either disposable or indestructable, depending on quality. I have no doubt I could master the use of said machine after a few projects, but at my present rate of need, that would take a decade or two, so what's the use, I figger. Joe F. |

Doh! *Men* do fishing things, like tying flies, just the way they tinker with cars and machinery. Domestic tasks, like cooking, cleaning and sewing, are done by *women*. Didn't they teach you anything at school biology? Lazarus |

The skill set required is small and easily acquired. Anyone with average manual skills and accustomed to working carefully will turn out a better first rod sock than first woolly worm. It's no accident that even in this day of off the rack disposable clothing there are tens of thousands more sewing machines than fly tying vises sold in America each year and that there are many thousands more fabric stores than fly shops.

Welding is fun. :) Actually, that's a skill I learned and very much enjoyed. I had the opportunity of working with someone who had worked as a welder in the oil fields and on the Alaskan pipeline, so he really knew his stuff. He taught me both arc and gas welding, enough so that I built my own 5' x 10' utility trailer. Fun stuff, especially when you set things on fire. ;-) Wolfgang and then we could get into that whole wood lamination thingy......layer upon layer of fascination there.

I built a phantom convertible out a '48 Ford Sedan, took hours of sheet metal work. Unfortunately I didn't have a wirefeed, so I did all the work with a gas welder. Running hot welding rod through your coveralls into your thigh when cooling a weld, ranks right up there with the slag shoe dance... Glad it was only my legs that got nailed a few times! My Dad bought a wirefeed shortly after all the welding work was completed, said he could see a real need for one. :-\ JT |
