simon porter Posted February 5, 2021 Author Share #32 Posted February 5, 2021 Next job on the list was to Serve my rope on my serving machine. This was the first time that i've ever done it, but using Chucks machine was very easy if you just took your time. I used dark brown fly tieing nylon as it was really thin.
