I cut off about 12-13' of 304 SS wire off a roll and form it around a pin.. be sure to over lap the long wire..

Now holding the wire to the pin... I bend back the tag end... this particular one isn't pretty... as I did not center the pliars when I bent the tag end... it's still funtional and turned out fine...

A good run is better than a bad stand!

Thank you, Joe! I have some engineering ahead of me, but you have cut the learning curve by 99%! I hope to have some shop time late this afternoon.
