Nose loop method

I use a stake to make a nose loop.

Depending on the size of the stake you can make bigger or small er loops. This is made from a 1/4" tapcon screw.

I think it's all in how you hold the wire. Bending the indent on the second side is tough until you learn to hold the wire!!

yup -holding the wire and the feel/pressure while making the second side is the story.

Don't forget mine Lu :

I hope to see ya there.

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.
