They look pretty good for first's. But get you a cheap vise to start and on that will get you started for 10-12 dollars. Get a bobbin and some 230 denier thread. You will find on buck tail you really have to bare down on wrapping your thread. That buck tail will slide out if not wound pretty tight. I use Sally's hard as nails clear polish to seal and it does pretty good. One you tie a few and if you decide to stay after it then you can start investigating better and more expensive tools to work with.
