    Default First time tying.


    Well I got home and went through all the stuff I ordered and decided to try tying. I watched a few YouTube videos and this was the result of my first few jigs. No where near professional but I think they may get a few thumps hopefully. Obviously I did not think about cleaning out the eyes before I baked them so next time I will do that. This was literally first time painting and setting up the vise and getting after it.

    Forgot to mention my whip finisher will not be in until Monday so manually tying the whip took a few tries to get it right lol

    Very nice. Wish my first ones looked that good. They have 12 step programs when it gets real bad. LOL
    I use this right out of the paint. Run it down the wire and then bake.

    Nice ties for your first ones - don't worry the more you tie the better they'll get, we've all been there!

    Very nice work for a first effort. Mine were nowhere near that good. Welcome to the addiction.
