The joys and pains of plugbuilding
Here's the completed lineup, a nice pichney troller sr, and a good example of what happens when you get up at 4 am to do tail wraps and your pliers slip...no stitches as I didn't feel like driving 30 minutes....just splattered a little system 3 on the gash and it healed right over...

Another inch and a half lower and it would have been a lot worse!

No doubt about it.
You can never be too careful with regard to eye/face protection. In this one instance I was performing a seemingly "safe" procedure without my shield on and the next minute I was seeing stars. |

A week ago I actually skinned the bridge of my nose pretty good and should have learned then. I was pulling on the wire with a pair of channel lock pliers and they simply slipped off the end of the wire. Its a technique problem, no doubt. |

I'll take a guess. round nose pliers in the loop and vice grips on the end of the wire trying to really pull the last part of the loop tight, and the vice grips slip.

You're close, I had an old drill bit in my vise to form the loop around and was pulling with the channel locks....the loop did come out perfect, though. 
Anyways, for any of you who don't know me already, I'll be the guy at TFCTFN with the gash above his eye...please stop and say hello....

all too familiar with this. I've popped myself in the mouth twice due to the little fixture I use.

I agree I'd be lost without my small vice grips, but even those slip off sometimes. I punched myself in the nose one day.
