Good job Bob!

Even a misplaced Okie.  Very clearly done, I think even I could follow those instructions!  Thank you from MN, too.

Bob,

What a great thread!!  Thanks for the time and effort.  Robert should post this in the Building Tips section of the main page.

I just saved the photos to "My Pictures".  Thanks.........Glen

This is what i like, follow the bounceing ball. Thanks Ron.

Those are the exact photos I go by since you first showed them in 04 (first that I saw). Great stuff then and now.

    Yes, that is all you need. You twist the ends of the copper wire together and trim. A smear of epoxy can be added but is not necessary, some people even advise against it. Never solder the conection.
     I have found that once the copper tube is bent with the wire inside, it is extreamly difficult to pull the wire back out. Remember, this is 1/16 in. copper tubing and there is little play between the .27 leadout wire and the tube walls. Slippage will not be a problem and very little strain will be placed on the bindings. Hope this clears that up.

Hi Bob,

Outstanding!  You are very adept at picturing, explaining, and DOING these tips.
