I spent the day building myself a dubbing spinning block. It works like a dream.
made a good few dubbing brushes already.

Nice André,what did u use for the core?

There has been much talk at our last club meeting about this device, could someone please explain the ins and outs of this thing?
How exactly is it supposed to work, what can one use to spin the "noodle" or brush, and if I ask pretty please with lots of icing sugar on top, and whiped cream, could someone make a quick sketch of such a device?
If you use thread, the bushes wont hold their shape and they will spin up into a ball once you take them off the device. The main benefit is that you can make lots of brushes and store them. It saves time in the tying process when tying batches as to dont have to form a new loop and spin the dubbing in, as you can just tie in the brush. Its also great if you like to mix dubbings. You can also use the wires inside old cell phone charges if you can find mass rolls of the stuff.
I made a very basic one a while ago which uses a normal spinning tool... not quite as hard core as Andre's but it works well. If I can find the plans Ill post them up but I wouldn't know where to even start looking...

Around the steel no tortur'd worm shall twine, No blood of living insect stain my line;
Let me, less cruel, cast feather'd hook, With pliant rod athwart the pebbled brook,
Silent along the mazy margin stray, And with fur-wrought fly delude the prey

Here is mone of my first flies tied with a brush off the new block. Excuse the photography, but I tried.
Dubbing brush Caddis Czech nymph.
Hook..Hannak H300 G size 8
3.5mm bead Brass or tugsten
0.025 lead wire or your preference.
Rest of materials pretty standard, except the dubbing blend spun into a brush.
Baie Baie Mooi ANDRE.
I request some of the brushes, so that I can do technical evaluation and write a report for FLYTALK
