Wood board

The board featured in the video was made using a large piece of plywood cut down into an 9in x 10in board.
- The size of the board matters the most if you want to add space to practice vessel anastomosis, in which case I would recommend the dimensions above
If you do not have plywood readily available, you could alternatively find a small wood cutting board on Amazon or grocery stores such as Walmart
- The links below are wooden cutting boards that are decently priced and have ample space to add screws as you would like

Hair Ties

I highly recommend getting soft hair ties that do not have a rubber core like the ones below. These would allow you to pass the needle without much resistance, helping reduce strain over many repetitions.

There are a variety of options to choose from: length, thread, head type. I chose to go with a small screw with a large head.
- This only requires about a third of the screw to be drilled into the wood for it to be secured and have enough room for the hair ties

You could also go with nails to be hammered down into the wood. I didn’t go with this option because I wanted the screw grooves to have friction with the hair ties so they do not slide around as I practice
