Sixth step |
Tie the first wing |
|
||||
 |
||||
| ETAPE
1 :
In the fifth stage we saw how to assemble a wing. Now you will assemble 2 identical wings. |
||||
 |
||||
| ETAPE
2 :
You form the 2 wings. |
||||
 |
||||
| ETAPE
3 :
Hold one pair of wings by the end as in the photograph |
||||
 |
||||
| ETAPE
4 : Hold the second pair by the upper edge as in the photograph |
||||
 |
||||
| ETAPE
5 : Then insert the first pair inside the second (as shown). |
||||
 |
||||
| ETAPE
6 :
You must obtain that. |
||||
 |
||||
| ETAPE
7 : Evenly adjust the length of the wings as in the photograph. This operation should be done with great care. |
||||
 |
||||
| ETAPE
8 :
Place your tying thread on the level of red silk floss. |
||||
 |
||||
| ETAPE
9 :
Place your 2 wings at the top of the hook to adjust it on the level of the tail. |
||||
 |
||||
| ETAPE
10 :
Place the shank of the hook inside the wing so that the fibres are well distributed on each side. |
||||
 |
||||
| ETAPE
11 : You are now ready to attach the wing. To see how this is done, click on the video. Since it is difficult to film and photograph this step at the same time, I will describe for you in the video how it is done |
||||
 |
||||
| ETAPE
12 : Yes, the wing is correct |
||||
 |
||||
ETAPE
13 : Now I will attach 2 small parakeet feathers under the shank |
||||
 |
||||
| ETAPE
14 :
Select 2 body feathers of the same size that you place back to back. |
||||
 |
||||
|
ETAPE 15 : Attach the 2 feathers under the shank. As you can see, the feathers are not aligned |
||||
 |
||||
| ETAPE
16 :Heat the tips of the tweezers with a lighter. This exercise
requires a little practice. If you heat them too much, you will cut the
feathers. If you do not heat them enough, it will have no affect on the
feathers. Use prudence. |
||||
 |
||||
|
ETAPE 17 : As soon as your tweezers are at the proper temperature, position
the feathers with your left hand and squeeze the base of the feathers with
the heated tweezers. |
||||
 |
||||
| ETAPE
18 :Your two feathers are now well aligned. |
||||
 |
||||
| ETAPE 19 : Bind well. | ||||
 |
||||
| ETAPE 20 : Attach a black ostrich herl. | ||||
 |
||||
| ETAPE 21 : Wind the herl forward with tight, even wraps to form the butt | ||||
 |
||||
| ETAPE 22 : We are now ready to make the 2nd part of the body and the second double wing | ||||
