Making a FID 

Thanks for the kind words and for the suggestions. Some great information there. Thanks for tuning in and for taking the time to leave me a comment.

You're very welcome Paul. The show has certainly taken a few twists and turns lately but that's a good thing and I am enjoying thinking outside the box and trying something a little different. Thanks for tuning in again this week and for taking the time to leave me a comment.

You're very welcome Kevin. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for tuning in to the show

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. 1950's? I remember when they were popular in the late 80's and early 90's. In fact, I think I still have mine. LOL. Thanks for tuning in Stephen.

Good advice Mike. Thanks for chiming in with that and for tuning in to the show.

I called Jo-Ann Fabrics... While I was waiting on hold I said to myself... "Aren't kitting needles hollow?" Customer care told me they didn't stock fid needles... So I shared the idea... I said "I guess that's what a craft store is for... Being crafty!" Cheers to a good idea .. great minds think alike

Glad that you liked it. Thanks for tuning in.

I'm not a sailor, or am I an expert in knot tying or in para-cord so I can't even confirm or deny what you are saying. Thanks for tuning in though. I appreciate you taking the time to chime in to the conversation.

Glad to hear it Jeff. They do make easy work of lacing the paracord in through the fist for sure. Thanks again for tuning in to the show and chiming in with your update.

You're very welcome. Glad that you enjoyed it.

You're very welcome Pete. Thanks for tuning in.

Thanks Ron. Glad that you like it. Thanks for tuning in.

If you do any sort of paracord work, these things are a real bonus and this is a great way to get them on the cheap. Thanks for tuning in.

Thanks Tomas. Thanks for tuning in.

That's what all my friends call me Dale. Oh, wait!! You said "SLICK". MY bad. LOL. Thanks for tuning in sir.

You'll have to tune in next week and find out Barb. ;)

If that's the method you choose and it works for you, then that's all that matters. Thanks for tuning in to the show.

Insert rim shot here. LOL. Thanks for the chuckle and for tuning in to the show Jim.

@@acutabove_woodworkings , you are welcome my friend , thanks for the information , I wrote down the Hillman number off the package , great video , I learned a lot , but I never really seen a Fid tree , I do however like Fid Newton's

@@jimthomas777 Well I don't want to come right out and call you a "joker", but if the shoe fids...LOL.

LOL. You are the first one to ever comment on my show with a Kelly Clarkson quote. I guess it's true that there's a first for everything. Thanks for tuning in Jeff. Glad that you liked the content and found it useful.

Sometimes, it's not about the buying Kevin and it's about the making. Some folks prefer to make their own things. For the record, a drill would do the same thing as the lathe. Thanks for tuning in.

@@acutabove_woodworkings youre right. im an idiot. lol. i love diy. i guess for me , the line between diy and production is the lathe.

Nah, you're not an idiot Kevin. You have a valid point and asked a question. Not a darned thing wrong with that. Feel free to ask all you like. When you really weigh it all out, I bought the pins, used my lathe and files and sandpaper and electricity to make the FID and then all the time and effort to make the show and edit and post etc, when I could have gone out and bought them on Amazon for pennies a piece. So really.....after all that time and expense......who's the idiot? LOL. Thanks for tuning in sir.

Approximately 1/4". I hope this helps and thanks for tuning in.

Ha ah ah ha ha ha ha ha ha. Booooooo, on your joke, but good for you for bringing excitement into the whole paracord thing. Good luck with the missus. LOL.

It's a great idea and very handy if you do alot of knot stuff, just thought i'd bring in a little bit of humour like i usually do, to keep the wolves at bay so to speak. Looking forward to the next 2 instalments. Barry (ENG)

Thanks Barry. Humour is good without a doubt. Gave me a good laugh when I sat down at my desk to read the comments so thanks for that. Funny stuff.

Well I hope you were able to take something positive away from the show. Thanks for tuning in.

Approximately 1/4". I hope this helps and thanks for tuning in.
