here you go. A very finger crossing build, especially since I never did the jointed that way and once the front part of the loop is epoxied in you pray you measured it right and pray you can get the loop open because if you screw it up you can't do it again with the wire already epoxied in. A lot of work went into these so I was a little nervous. The yellow one was first one I did and blue was second which I think came out as close to Mr. Musso's wire job. I like the loops smaller as in the blue one and my homemade grommets work perfectly. Thanks to Joe for all his insight, it was very helpful, as he always is. The yellow one was not made a jointed by Mr. M, although it is a darter he did make and smaller than the blue one. I did anyway as I figured I needed the practice. It may come in upside down but I don't care it was needed practice getting the machining and wiring down. He did make, his large size, blue one in a jointed as well as his regular wiring.
Thanks to my Conn. buddy who will remain nameless so he doesn't get bugged for them, that's my job, for the laser printed eyes. I figured out I needed to paint the backside of them yellow as the top coat would soak in and fade the colors too much as it is only sheet paper. This solved the problem and I think they look great and look forward to using them again. I'll bring them to the plugfest so you can drop them on the floor.
