Doing the wraps...

The through wire is bent into a loop in the usual way for the front loop making sure that the loop diameter is large enough for the eye bolt.

The wire is put through and the rear eye loop also begun in the usual way. The rear eye is then put on the right hand eye bolt eye. The left hand clamp is loosened, the front eye put on the left hand eye bolt and the block stretched to the left and the clamp re-tightened.

Your right hand now slowly turns the crank clockwise while the left hand guides the wire to make tight wraps.

The plug will turn during this process; do not try to make the plug stand still - this is the whole point of the bearing - to let the wire and plug rotate while you are guiding the wrapping of the wire.

When you reach the plug end face, you may push the plug a little more to the left if there is enough room, otherwise let the wire wrap over the inner wrap to the point where you feel it is enough.

Cut the wire and finish in the usual manner. Constructive criticism welcomed...
