KAYAK45 Posted June 21, 2011 Report Posted June 21, 2011 Some people make their own from guitar string. I forgot which one, I think it was G string. Double over and loop becomes the EYE and twist ends together tightly for needle. There is a video somewhere on net on making from fuse wire, same way. Good Luck! Quote
