How did you twist the wire? I love the effect. I love the way it twists, takes a break where it is bent, and twists some more.

To twist the wire I use a small pin vise and my flat nose wire wrapping pliers and twist the lengths I am using in the bundle. I use 2 twisted in a six wire bundle and they stack like this F= not twisted and T=twisted - FFTFTF - the two flats are the back of the bundle of which the very back one becomes the back retaining and bail wire.
The above wrap is a 4 wire bundle with only one twisted for the stack up
FFTF

that is the way I wrap thin cabs use the 6 wire for thick cabs

rocknrob: There was a shop in Portland, don't know if it's still there called Kenny and Zukes who made the absolute best pastrami sandwiches I have ever had. The problem is every restaurant thinks their sandwich is worth $20 now and seldom makes the grade. Nov 12, 2024 9:53:31 GMT -5

rocknrob: So, to end my thread on sandwiches. If you find your sandwich worthy of that price by all means keep going to that restaurant (chewie)
