[cool][font "Poor Richard"][#008000][size 3]Well now that is another fine mess you got into there MCF55/56. LOL Welcome to fly tiers anonymous. The two tools that you reference the first one is a bodkin which is used to apply head cement a drop at a time. The handle end should have a hole in it which you can use to tie a ½ hitch and the one that looks like an antenna is a threader. Insert the thin double wire through the shaft of your bobbin, insert the thread between the two wires and extract. BTW I uploaded a how to video re the whip finisher on this board a while back. I have numerous how to files & Internet videos[/size][/#008000][/font]
[font "Poor Richard"][#008000][size 3]on tying files of all sorts. Will sort through and send you some via e-mail. Have included a picture of the most traditional tools. Your whip finisher may look different but it's application is the same. Have fun & good luck.
