You might also find that some of the needles are a bit reluctant to go in - they may be a bit blunt - in which case you will need a hammer. If so, you might want to ask Mick if he will hold the needle in place while you hammer them in. After all, you don't want to hit your finger and thumb, do you? Also, it might hurt Mick a little bit for the first half dozen so he may want to bite on a bit of leather. If he takes his shoe off and then sticks it in his gob, it should be OK.

Let us know how you go on.
