So where do you get the rubber from ? Looks like a great idea for dealing with the pesky flies. Something right out of Africa. :thumb:

Ted Calver · Jun 2, 2011

Drew,
The rubber comes from the core of large (1/2-5/8") bungee cord. I found it at a marine supply store.

Those are too pretty to swish with. They should be for sale at Hogwarts Magic Wand Shop.

Really nice.

Enjoy,

Jim

The wife walked by as I was looking at your photos and asked "what's that"... I told her it was a spaghetti lift... :rofl:

That is really cool Ted. Thanks. They remind me of some Harry Potter wands that I made my kids last Christmas :thumb:

Ted do they really work on flies?? Or is it like the "bracelet helpers"?

Chuck should be all over these for his line of products.

Bob Gibson · Jun 3, 2011

Really unique and unusual :thumb:

Drew Watson · Jun 3, 2011

Called a fly whisk and used throughout the world ( I knew I had seen them before) made with horse hair.

Paul Douglass · Jun 3, 2011

Very cool.

These really work. In our house they work best on the flies that wear leather and blindfolds. Chuck? Has Chuck been naughty?? I'm thinking KaLea should have at least a couple of these :rofl:

Those are cool Ted. I would keep them out of the hands of the SWMBO. :rofl:

Very unique project. Can honestly say I would never thought of that. :thumb:
