gbait Posted February 12, 2012 Report Share Posted February 12, 2012 Are there and good tips or tools to make barrel wraps with. 35 and. 41 wire? trying to make them now and just not having a clean looking wrap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBlaze Posted February 12, 2012 Report Share Posted February 12, 2012 Vodkaman built this one. Fairly simple and looks easy to build. Maybe it is what you need. It will definitely keep the space between the wraps consistent. Hope this helps. John 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JBlaze Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 Is there suppose to be a picture of the one vodkaman made? Yes there was but I forgot to attach the link to it. RayburnGuy, Thanksfor taking care of that. I ain't that old yet but my forgetfulness seems to happen much more often than it used to.

RayburnGuy Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 Are you making these for hook hangers and line ties? If so I see one problem. For hook hangers and line ties you want a little space left between the wraps of wire. This allows glue to fill the voids between the wraps and make for a stronger bond. That's why Dave (Vodkaman) used a threaded rod to turn the wire. By using a threaded rod run through two nuts on the board closest to your rod turning hand it will leave the same space between the wire wraps as whatever the threads per inch are on the rod. If your just wanting to twist an eye into your wire then the rig as you have built it is great. Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
