Catalog that I found helpful

As a fly tyer I am always on the look out for tools, gadgets etc. that helps
me with my fly tying. I have purchased a few things from www.micromark.com
and they have worked out well. They specialize in m small tools for
modelers etc.

Chris "An no I am not affliated with Micro-Mark" Just passing along some
info that has helped me.

As a wooddorker I'm familiar with Micromark. What sort of things
have you found at Micromark that have been useful for tying?

I'm a dorker around anything that requires tools or manual dexterity

----------------
I bought their small desk top drill press to drill/cut foam for fly bodies
etc. and I use it with their extension kit for shaping the bodies etc.
Their small jar cap remover has been helpful with stuck lids
Small Tweezers are great
Miniature wire brushes are great for brush out dubbing
I use their glue dispensing system for making small batches of epoxy that
you apply with a toothpick
They carry a long threader that works great for threading tube flies
Mini Butane Torch for mon eyes etc.
Quite a few storage things for small items
And, of course, just cool stuff that I have on my tying bench that have no
real purpose but I will find one eventually. (Like the surgeon's soft-jaw
seizing too -- there has got to be a use for it sometime

So that's why you took up fly-fishing, eh? :-)

As a collector of tools (I can't believe I just admitted to that), I
understand completely. Thanks for the ideas.

Don't think we're not paying attention.

Somehow I knew you'd make an appearance in this thread. :-)

Now I just need to make sure that SWMBO doesn't see this.

That's better.
