try a ships chandlers for sail makers needles, the real big ones...iain
Ed,
I've watched Ken make his hooks from needles, Just not heavy and long enough. They are pretty neat, though!
No, I'm not ready to build a forge or wire mill! Just want to make some from scratch, including raising the barb, which is a lot easier than you would think.
Cheers,
Tim

Did you have a good trip home after the BFF?
About this hook making idea... are you sure you want to do that? Why don't you just buy the *^% hooks and use the time you save to brush up your flytying technique :-)
