Default Bored at work, making wire worms

Bored at work, figured I would do up some wire worms to pass the time.

And before you all go crazy, yes I am pinching the barbs as I type this. Was just in a hurry to take a pic and post it.

Odds are most of them were crazy to start with. I always pinch my barbs mainly because I am clumsy and get hooks in my fingers all the time.

Not bad for variety, now take it to the next level. When you hit the "eye" of the hook, double over the original winding for about 4 wraps to form a "head". If you are really creative, you could take some finger nail polish, and paint the head red.

Finally, turn up the hook so that it is not parallel with the main hook. As you pull up on the horizontal hook, the point digs into the top of the mouth better, resulting in more hook ups.

Now if only I was as interested in reconciling these accounts in front of me.

What do you tell your boss about your boredom exercise?

Well seeing as there is only one person above me in the chain of command, and they are away at the moment that makes me the boss so I am okay with my actions. I also have all my ice fishing gear in the shop, my tent was set up yesterday to dry off and air out from the last trip.

It makes it easier to head out to the lake when I get done work at noon tomorrow as well.
