coil maker...

[John Ross]

Hi Terry,
Take a pin, and cut a slot, down to the hole in the pin, from the top.
Now use this pin to make 3 coils, with the slot cut in it you can just
slip it off. Then just slide it down the pin that is in the block, insert
 the end into the becket hole and squeeze the becket tightly against
pin.
If I haven't made it clear enough, it is in the archives.
