Making the Fly Saddles
Posted: Mon Jan 04, 2021 5:26 pm
Hey everyone--here's a little bit of Parker Fly history related to the saddles 
So....when it came producing the first production Fly saddles, @Ken Parker carved one out of wood at a 10:1 scale!
He then used a pantograph to retain all of that wonderful resolution while reducing it to a 5:1 scale!
Ultimately, he reduced it further to a 1:1 scale and made these tools made to produce our Fly saddles !!!
