I suggest you make written notes of quantities of materials used; at the beginning, and through the adjustment process until you get what makes you happy and you have a recipe for it , and save it. That way, two or three years, later when you are running low, you can reproduce this shade exactly from your notes! P. S. - make note of procedures, or changes, I.e. I used acrylic wool, colour # XX , 1bpiece, 6 " long, cut into 1/2" pieces, .

[@blackflycreations]

This is a great suggestion👌.. Especially because there's a couple concoctions I've made that I can't "exactly reproduce." Thank you Don "hope that's your name" I'm taking your advice. I have a couple new mixes for dry flies I plan to share soon "and write down" haha🙃 Talk soon, Steve

What a great idea. Looks like it's time to buy a coffee grinder.

[@blackflycreations]

Hey Bradley thanks for watching! It's so fun creating colors and mixed blends, and it's cheap. The one I used is linked in the video description but any grinder will work. Have fun mixing some colors and take care✌️ Steve

[@John336NLT]

Got to do this. This will lower supply cost.

[@gldead3741]

This video was absolutely amazing. I’m gonna go out and buy every color of acrylic yarn. I could find and make up 100 different boxes. It seems like it’s so much fun to do that. You just can’t stop it’s like eating potato chips just can’t have one. Thank you for your techniques and your video.

[@blackflycreations]

Glad u enjoyed it and thank you so much for the kind words! One thing I should mention. When you mix your pieces of yarn etc start with short bursts, running the grinder to long can start a friction fire. So be careful and have fun! Sincerely appreciate you and tight lines!

[@66bigbuds]

That grinder works best in short bursts. I mostly use dubbing with real fur added now. I bought a cheap rechargeable beard trimmer to trim fur off the hides,faces,feet,whatever you have. And I can set it to cut the part I want. Like the top half of the hair. Then brush out the underfur and use that too. Or cdc trimmings, or marabou scrap.

[@blackflycreations]

Yeah I kinda found that out after my buddies almost caught fire! Haha.. Now I just do short bursts like you said. I love the fur clipper idea, I'll have to give that try! It's fun mixing and testing new materials and colors. Thanks so much for the tips and for watching! Have a wonderful evening and talk soon! Steve @blackflycreations ✌️

[@CarlettaBailey]

I thought it was Soooooooo cool. And I wanted to know how to make my own dubbin

[@blackflycreations]

Thank you I'm so glad you enjoyed it! I sincerely appreciate comments like this. It's fun making dubbing and the possibilities of colors are endless! Just be careful when you mix with the coffee grinder not to run it too long. It's best to do short 5 second bursts and pauses until it's mixed. I say this because some materials build up a lot of friction and can catch fire. It's rare but I just wanted to share that with you. Thanks so much for watching and talk soon! Steve #blackflycreations ✌️

Buy a few Hare's Ear Masks. Shave the different areas aka the base of the ears with a ton of guard hairs and then other areas with less guard hairs and put into seperate bags. Than make different textures by mixing the buggy with the less buggy. Then just drop in different color fibers to change the colors.

[@blackflycreations]

Thanks for the tips Marc! I'm still experimenting but I have heard hares mask is great for mixing. I have a couple old masks I'll have to try shaving. I also like you're dog brush comment you left for another viewer "Great advice"👍 It's fun trying new materials. Thanks again for the tips and tight lines! Steve✌️

[@getpoked101]

This is awesome. I'll give you two colors to try just to see if they catch fish! #1 a brown with blue mix #2 a green and brown mix.

[@blackflycreations]

Thank you Greg! I'll definitely try those 2 mix of colors. I'll even try to do a short video on the 2 this week. Thanks for the suggestions and take care! Steve

[@robertmiller9142]

I like the box the way that you did it and am wondering if the reason that you drilled the bottom instead of the top is so that you can label it easier also why not cut from the tinsel boa that you have to make the flash in the orange spice color I would add it in before the wool and to make it lighter add some of white a little at a time until you get what you want.

[@blackflycreations]

That's a great question Robert! The main reason I drilled the bottom is so I can push the dub through the hole. However I love your idea of labeling the color's! I'm trying to keep a record of materials so I can duplicate them but each needs a name. I like you're suggestion for the orange mix as well. I'm making some dry fly mixes coming up. Thanks for sharing and hope to talk again soon! Steve @blackflycreations

[@joshuaneal4125]

You need to try Angelina fibers. Very cheap on price and so many colors. Easy way to make ice dub. Some people call it angel hair

[@blackflycreations]

Thank you Joshua, How ironic! I just got a shipment In with several colors of "angel hair".. I have several videos planned for mixing then tying with it, so im excited! Anyways thank you for the tips! If you have any more suggestions or good color blends I would love to hear about them! It's fun creating my own dubbing and flies. Thank you for watching and tight lines! Steve @blackflycreations ✌️

[@joshuaneal4125]

@@blackflycreations you will absolutely love using angel hair.

[@robertmiller9142]

I love this idea because I am always spending a lot on dubbing material for flies Pluto with the way you did the holder is fantastic. But I have a question why drill the bottom instead of the top of the box?

[@blackflycreations]

Thank you Robert! Sincerely appreciate the kind words, I'm always looking for ways to save a few bucks. I drilled the bottom so I could always have a little dub sticking out and still be able to flip the box, open the lid, and add more colors without pulling the dubbing out, or having to push it back in. Just personal preference, believe me I'm not that smart! Haha Thank you for watching and Merry Christmas my friend! Steve @blackflycreations

[@danjohnson2098]

Just an idea....Initially pulse the blender when blending.Then go longer.Awesome ideas you have.

[@blackflycreations]

Thank you Dan! That's very good advice to "pulse first" I've had others tell me to much friction can catch🔥.. Appreciate you watching my friend! Take care Steve @blackflycreations

Where do you find the wool felt? It looked pretty thick.

[@blackflycreations]

Hi Sir Tango! Here's a link below! I bought the tan and green wool at hobby lobby. I also purchased this pack and it's pretty good for a merino wool blend. This pack is small squares but still very buggy when used to mix dubbing or tie into a dub loop. Anyways I hope this helps! Talk soon, Steve amzn.to/3Xcqumj

[@ghart91]

Ive never seen that wool before. What is it called at the store?

[@blackflycreations]

Hey Gary! Sorry took so long to respond I had to work late. I bought the wool at Hobby Lobby and I just asked for "Merino wool".. They had 3 colors, Olive, Black and the Natural tan. All 3 are awesome but I think it's just a standard wool and not merino. Anyways hope this helps and thank you for watching! Take care, Steve @blackflycreations

[@RustyNipples]

I learned something unintended from the video. Instead of drilling the holes in the box and causing cracks, I'm going to melt them in with my Soldering Iron.

[@blackflycreations]

That's a great idea! I may need to update my soldering gun! I did crack one of the holes so use light pressure if you drill. Thank you for sharing, I appreciate it👍 Steve @blackflycreations

[@rm709]

Drilling holes from the inside to the outside while supporting the bottom will prevent the cracking.

[@jerrycandelaria8845]

Just beginning but I found out that fly tying maybe I should just buy the flies some of that stuff is super expensive that's the reason I watch these hack videos to try to lower some of the cost

[@blackflycreations]

Hey Jerry! I completely understand the materials can be expensive, so I'm always looking for ways to save. However, what I've learned is if you buy "lets say a pack of hackle" you can tie a bunch of flies from one small saddle. But, I think you have to truly enjoy the hobby, catching fish on a bug you created for me is soooo rewarding especially when it's something new the fish haven't seen 500 of that month. Whatever you decide I wish you the best and appreciate you watching. Talk soon, Steve @blackflycreations ✌️

Thank you! I just restocked the "Fly" decals, I just need to update the website so they will be back up this week at www.Blackflycreations.com ... And yes, I dont know why but the Polyester is more expensive right now here in Utah as well. I found a small batch on sale but hopefully it gets cheaper again.

[@keanandarnell8709]

Do you think a regular blender would give same results? It’s a blender I don’t use so I have no worries about it breaking

[@blackflycreations]

Thats a great question! I think the blender "depending on the blades" could possibly mix some materials that are super light like feather clippings & soft rabbit fur, but I can't recommend it. The biggest difference between the coffee grinder and a blender is the coffee grinder rotates at a very fast rpm and has sharp blades, where as the blender is much slower with dull blades. Sorry I can't give a better answer but who knows maybe it would work! Be careful if you try it, I'd wear eye protection and be prepared for fire! Haha.. "Funny but serious" I learned that even the coffee grinder if ran too long can catch on fire "short 5 second bursts" is much safer. Hope this helps and let me know how it goes! Steve

[@keanandarnell8709]

@@blackflycreations thanks for the tip. I’ll probably just invest in a coffee grinder😂. Rather be safer than sorry🤷🏾‍♂️😂. Awesome video btw

[@MichaelSchober-dj1cc]

What is the point of drilling the holes ?

[@blackflycreations]

Hey Michael great question! The holes are so I can keep the box upside down and only pull small amounts of dubbing out while tying. I tried to recreate the name brand dubbing boxes that are kinda pricey. Hope this helps and thank you for watching! Steve

[@HalfInsaneOutdoorGuy]

I'm sorry I had to rewind the dinner part of this video an embarrassing amount of times to realize you said "to all you husbands out there" and not "her toy husband is out there."

[@johndurfee5925]

I was doing a little bit of dub spinning and I found that some synthetic materials do not want to break down and stubbornly stay in stringy type dub that doesn't work well. I was using a new mill grinder. So my recommendation would be to examine quite closely what makes the starting material. I now have a small tub full of different shades of wool yarn

[@blackflycreations]

I agree with you John! Some of the synthetics I have to cut to 1/4 inch strips, but wool and most furs are awesome! Thanks for sharing you're tips! Talk soon, Steve @blackflycreations ✌️

[@MarcTelesha]

I have learned that using two dog brushes which has hundreds of wires on a flat wide brushes. I put the material inbetween the brushes and break them down. I wouldn't do 1/4" cuts it dubs poorly and falls off your flies super fast while fished. Also I avoid natural fibers they rot really quick.
