Convert Ball Heads into Pill Heads

I’m new to tying jig heads. Maybe what is posted below is old hat. But hopefully this will benefit some.

You can easily “press” a ball head into a pill head using a bench vise. They come out very uniform and even.

The top image shows a lightweight piece of aluminum facia (anything similar can be used) to prevent the pattern in the bench jaws from roughening up the sides.



I will be asking for help with getting a better finish from the powder coat. That’ll be another post.
