Step 5:  When you have completed wrapping the wire around the pegs, remove the wire from the jig.  Now cut the wire at the end about 3/16" from the point where the wire touched peg 2.  See the figure at right for how the wire should look at this point.

Step 7:  Now using your round nose pliers or your step jaw pliers if you have them make a loop in the beginning of the wire, where you just cut off the beginning loop.  The size of your loop will determine whether you have any excess wire.  With the loop shown at right, there was a small amount of excess wire.  When completed the loop should appear as shown at right.

Step 8:  Cut the excess wire.  Be sure to position the flat side of your flush cutters toward the finished piece so that the flat side of the cut wire remains on the finished piece.  Now close the loop using your bent chain nose pliers as described here.
