After seeing a clear printout (from the PDF) I think I'm gonna make a
couple of new ones as mine could use some improvements although they have
worked well for me (with some difficulty). The thing that I had missed
is to put 90 degree bends in the end of the wire before starting - small
detail that should really simplify the operation (I recently saw a photo,
somewhere, of someone showing that detail). When Bob showed me the
original he just hand held the tool and bent an acceptable bearing from
some scrap wire he found in his tool box.
