 Step
6: Now we need to make a loop in one end of the wire, with the
loop on the inside of the circle. The reason that we had to cut off
the initial loop is that it is almost impossible to rotate that initial
loop from outside the circle to inside the circle without bending the
circle out of shape. Fortunately, it is relatively easy to make a
loop
 inside
the circle using your round nose pliers or preferable your Fine Step Jaw
Pliers. When you have completed this loop, your wire should appear
as shown at right.
Step 7: At this point you will need to remove the Super
Peg and regular metal peg from your jig and add four regular metal pegs as
shown at left. Pegs 1, 3 and 4 are each separated from the other two
by 120 degrees. Since pegs 1, 3 and 4 are on the same radius of your
jig, they make a
Step 8: Now we are ready to start bending the wire into shape. Place the initial loop in your wire on peg 1 as shown at right. Position peg 2 in your jig, but not peg 3. Push the wire with your thumb as close to peg 2 as possible until the wire rests adjacent to the empty hole for peg 3 with no pressure applied. As you can see in the photo at right, you won't have to push very far. When this has been accomplished add peg 3. These instructions continue on the following page. |

length and all three angles in this triangle are the same 60degree angle.)
