Making a joint on Giant pikie..
Here's how I do it, wish I could give credit as to who showed it to me,but he was a guy in a B&T shop that gave me instructions I never got the gents name....
First the wire must be anealed, hard wire will crack and break and is not flexable enough to withstand being closed then opended...
First, insert your lip and wire ( be sure to capture your swivel) press the wire against the lip to be sure it is properly seated.
Then measure 3/8" from the plug body along the wire, marke with a sharpie....
Now make a small loop, I use a #0 phillips in the vise and form the loop around it, by doing this, you relie on the wires memory to help form the loop ( it took me a lot of misery to gure that one out) trim the tag end so it leaves approx 1" of extra wire just like the nose loop.
Continued on the next frame:
