Part 1


Insert pin/needle into vise (not sure what size it is, but it's very thin)




take some tubing and slide it on to the needle (sorry for the dirty fingers, changed front/rear pads and rotors this morning)






trim tubing, leave a bit extended past the tip of the needle (makes it easier to grab)




start thread back where the tail will be tied in, then spiral wrap tubing to help anchor it to the pin, otherwise it just rotates






stack a few moose body hairs for the tail and tie them in; hackle fibers tend to suck up Super Glue (capillary action) and I'm not crazy about how that looks






trim butts and tie in ribbing
