Now I'm going to use the security wrap 3 wraps using a metallurgic wood type finisher to secure the material to the hook shank as we move on to the next step. I'm going to move the bobbin cradle back into position, lay the bobbin in the bobbin cradle, take my hackle plier, go back and get the furnace saddle hackle.
