The trick is to make the first turn fast without thinking about it. Just a snap of the wrist.

The end of the wire = always pops out of the hole in the tuning pin when I try to put the = first turn on. I have tried using the coil lifter to hold the wire in = place, but that didn't work. The diameter of the first turn always = becomes too large, and I can't make a neat first turn, tight against the = tuning pin. The result is that the end comes out of the hole in the pin. = The wire is so stiff and springy. The wire needs to be held firrnly and = tangential to the pin, but I am not sure how I can do this. Could anyone = suggest how I could overcome this problem? Thank you very much.=20 Robert Finley ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
