Members Jeff House Posted October 23, 2006 Members Posted October 23, 2006 Up until now I have just blended different dubbings by hand (scissors and fingers)but have heard in fly tying circles about using coffee grinders? I don't drink coffee so I'm not sure what styles are used or what works best for blending dubbing? Does anyone out there use the coffee grinder method or is there something that works better? I've tried the wifes food processor and wasn't impressed (neither was she!). Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Steve Smith Posted October 23, 2006 Posted October 23, 2006 Go to Walmarts and pick up a coffee bean grinder. It would be in the same area as the coffee pots. I believe the last one I purchased was under ten bucks, but you don't want to use it for anything but dubbing. I have mine clearly marked so by coffee beans are fuzzless [if that's a word]. ___________________________ AKA Flysmith - Cassville MO
Terry Beeson Posted October 23, 2006 Posted October 23, 2006 I use the Mr Coffee grinder - yes available at WM for under $10. Easy to clean but just make sure it is unplugged before you stick your finger inside!!! I dunno, Steve... possum flavored coffee is not too bad... But the best expresso has just a touch of red fox squirrel tail in it...

Members Jeff House Posted October 23, 2006 Author Members Posted October 23, 2006 Thanks for the info guys. I'm going to head to wal-mart after work and see if I can't find one of those Mr Coffee grinders. That's what makes this forum so great, quality information from good people who've been there and done that. Although hopefully Terry's finger comment didn't come from experience!!
Steve Smith Posted October 23, 2006 Posted October 23, 2006 I don't know about that Terry; the wife finds very little humor in finding loose hairs in her Starbucks grind. However, red fox expresso does sound interesting. ___________________________ AKA Flysmith - Cassville MO
Don Posted October 23, 2006 Posted October 23, 2006 I used to use my coffee grinder to blend my dubbing. Now I use my dubbing blender to grind my coffee. Don May I caught you a delicious bass.
