Got hold of Mark at Mustang wire as I didn't see WER-30 Wire forms for the old Do-It ED (Erie Dearie copy) and due to an over run he has the wires to fit.
He has the following wire diameters and length per 1000. A great deal!!! He has 1000 less of the .030 as I placed an order.
.030...

Years ago I sold off my Erie Dearie style mold the ED-6-3858, 3/8th and 5/8th model. Well I finally found it on ebay and got it cheap.
BUT!! I've found the one that's REALLY hard to find - the

They aren't getting away...
Somehow screwed up my good knee so since the most I can do is sit, I cut up a bunch of Fox squirrel cross-cuts, regulars and the parts of the skin I couldn't I shaved it down for a big bag of dubbing. Didn't want to waste anything.

Cutter tips aren't out too far -
Whole bunch of new strips
The one on the end that looks blue is actually purple, need a new camera...
Made my yearly trip to Cabelas in Dundee Michigan today and after my gift card it was only $75!! The wife was really surprised - pics will follow when I get back to Vermont.
Finally got all the stuff to put a Zonker cutter together today. Made it to better protect my fingers than the one on YouTube
Panels from a Mink Fur Coat my daughter brought me
Straight and Cross-Cuts and gallon bags full
and plenty left to cut more.
Well I started tearing down the rabbit skin vest. Started by pushing the fur out of the way and finding the threads. Tried cutting them first and that was a major pain in the butt!!!
As you can see in the first pic, it's all just strips like zonkers (so far regular, so when tying there is...
Been out again with the back, and this week my daughter and grand daughter are here so we're going fishing and the heck with it, tired of being laid up. Been seeing some good stuff here on the board!!
My daughter was cleaning a house and found these old furs and the woman told her to toss them - so she brought them to me
