Spinner making stuff
So as not to hijack anyone else's thread here's some of the tools used to work with making spinners.
Netcraft wire former
Hand wire former
Hand made helper tool, I can make lots of bends with this one.
In the second photo you can see just how close the nails are together, a wire width. The short wire has to be put in far enough so you can wrap the wire totally around the tall nail.
Theses are homemade beetle spin frames, the line tie and bend for attacheing the the crane swivel are made with the handmade
One box parts, I have more I just haven't found them yet.

The only thing I haven't seen with the Boggs or Twisttech is a way to make coiled closing springs. With the Netcraft one I can.

It's not too hard once you get the hang of it. Netcraft includes what they call a wire mandrel which is how you make them.
Another box of stuff
What Netcraft calls it's wire mandrel, this is used to make the coils
Wrappping the wire
Finished coil, cut off what you need and save the rest for another time
Another cool thing you can make once you learn it is crappie spreadder frames, it's way cheaper to make them than buy them
