Sounds like a great Idea Carl but as of yet I'm still waiting on that part. Waiting on some instruction but the way I tied this one was quit a challenge.

dicky-- I have a small hobby vice I use when I use the needle tie method-- it saves swapping out the needle to the hook. I put the needle in the hobby vise - hook in tying vise-- saves a lot of time

I don't guess a dog would help, they like to lick.

I know exactly what you mean about not having enough hands. Let just say there was a lot of licking to keep things in place.

Leo I haven't tried the needle method yet done by hand and found out I didn't have enough of them, hands that is.

Took me a few tries myself. The trick is all from the needle.

As soon as I can get some kind of background material, I'll see about getting the step-by-step done, especially how I do the tail, as I start that on a needle, not on the hook.

Yeah, the first one or two I did "on the hook", and yes, I felt like I needed about 4 hands to do it properly that way.  I switched to using a needle for the extended body, and that helps immensely.
