Well are you going to show us what your machine looks like I know I am curious and sure others are as well. Give us all a sneak peek of what it looks like...

sorry but at this time I cant, I had been looking for one for about a year but the company that made them went out of business. So I know what I needed it to do so I started making my own. I am needing to make another so the wife can help at those times when we have a lot to do. I would be willing to make one more up if someone really would like one. The old machines sold for $800 but I know I can knock that down a lot. I use a dan vise to hold the jig because of the adjustability of it but it does have to be mounted permanently where ever you are going to work with it.

Well if i knew exactly what we where talking about here I might be interested if you want to PM the info please do

Never broke a bobbin before,but I'm hard on scissors.Even one's with the lifetime warranty is no match for me with the help of my kids. I need to send some scissors in if I ever get around to do it.

thanks!

Ok

At least it's not a ceramic tip one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I go through the $8-10 ceramic ones, hate it. I'm rough on them but the big saltwater bucktails need the pressure.
