Most tyers find it easier to use a whip-finish tool, but some whip-finish by hand, except for smaller flies. This video shows how to whip-finish a fly by hand >

Thanks for finding this.
The slow motion makes it very easy to fallow.
Cheers

My whip finish tool is permanently attached to my hand, that bent wire thing is redundant. It’s so easy anyone can do it.

Haha Tom, I do tuck a pair of scissors in my right palm and around my pinky. I learned on my own early on to whip finish by hand, I find it more accurate than a whip finisher. You can place the wraps exactly where you want them.
