Nice job Doc. Just found my first jig in the shop last week. You are far ahead of my first attempt! Keep it up.

Nice job on your first one. I'm sure many more will follow.The more you do the better you'll get. Now tie some more up. Let's see what #20 looks like.

Not Bad, Take your time check your work keep it neat

Not too bad, got the right idea! When using the longer strand body material, try holding it back with your thumb and first 2 fingers of left hand while you make a few wraps before you tie off. Should keep it out of the way and won't get stuck and pushed forward under your thread.

Nice job... keep it up!

You on the right track, Doc. Great color choice. The tie off could be a little cleaner, but that'll go away with more tying.

Nice for a first, keep practicing and working on them they do get easier.
