Fid... No lie

Well,  it has been a little bit since I posted..  I haven't been doing nothing, just not posting.  I decided that I wanted to try to tie some Turks head knots.  They are complicated and look sweet.  I watched a few videos and found that I would need a needle or "fid" to help in this task.  So I made one out of a .17 cal gun cleaning rod in my cleaning kit that I don't use because I don't own a .17 cal gun...  The Gun Rod was ideal because the paracord screws into the end and that way it remains secure in the fid.  Here are the pics.  I have taken it back to the grinder and cleaned it up a little more after using it now..  But it works great.
