What's in your vise?

[clarkman]

Sounds like a good call
Nice tie
Are you gonna do any flat headed stuff with that shit?
Horizontaly flattened

I'll play around with it a little bit more. The downside is that it takes much longer to dry. I'll see how this little one feels in the morning before I really start experimenting. Although, I do have another brand of non-toxic stuff to play around with.

Billy where are you scoring the jig heads from. Beautiful ties.

A little company I found online called Top Notch Lead heads. The main size I use is either 1/32nd or 1/64th. Easy to cast.
