Tlefire took my words, that will catch fish. A good inventive way of scratching the itch. There was a man who posted her a couple of years back, maybe more, that had been tying jigs in a pair of vise grips held in his large bench vise for near 20 years. It isn’t necessarily what you work with, but some tools make it easier. A good bobbin with a ceramic tip to hold the thread, good scissors that need not be expensive (mine were $5 a few years ago) . You’re off to a good start, keep us posted.
