...Is it worth it? (for the experience & feathers)
Or, should I just go buy feathers at my local fly shop?


You can get cheap imported necks that will produce plenty of serviceable
flies. If that's the goal, then no, it isn't worth the trouble. On the
other hand, it IS an interesting experience. I've done it and consider the
time and effort well spent. But, I wouldn't bother to do it again.
