Just started tying jigs this week. Been doing two half hitches to sinch off the end. Thought I would try a whip finish. I got a thompson style. After 2 hours watching videos and reading I still have no idea how to make this thing work. I think It may end up in the scrap pile before the night is up. Any suggestions. Several people have told me a half hitch is just as good but I just was trying to learn this tool.
