| Two patterns for making this wire component on the WigJig Cyclops or
Electra are shown at right. Pattern 1 is slightly smaller and
more delicate than pattern 2. With pattern 1, the instructions
provided here can be followed with no modifications. With pattern 2,
you might want to modify the design steps slightly. The modified
steps will probably start with making an
"eye
loop" instead of starting with the normal loop in these instructions.
After making the eye loop, place the wire on the center peg of the jig
with the wire tail pointing down. Add the following step to the
prior instructions. Grasp the wire tail just below the eye loop and
while holding the wire, bend the wire tail until it touches the lower
right peg. From this point, wrap the wire around the lower right peg
and follow the steps shown previously.
Good luck with this project. |
