nice tie and nice sbs. thanks for posting

pls, what do you mean by "fold over" in measure (tips to bend), fold over, tie in

are the two slips tented along the long axis? and just folded over at the tie in point?

garthman,

Yes; stroked together, tented and folded along the hook axis (it's a hand-intensive process and I come up one short for holding the camera so no pics). Here's where I learned the winging procedure (starts at about 4:00 although the whole vid is worth watching)
