Hans, that is some of the best advice I have heard from a tying instructor in years. Well put.
I hate it when I think I'm buying organic vegetables, and when I get home I discover they are just regular donuts.

Hans, that comment has nagged me at the vise for years. It's made all the difference. Thanks.

Thanks Hans, you actually got me to start counting wraps and thinking more about where to start and end.
