Wiring / Re-wiring Poppers

Angus Hulme:
Awesome demo Sam, thanks for sharing.

I currently do my wiring with similar principles, but I don't have those pliers with rounded jaws...definitely need to get myself some. I form a eyelet loop around an appropriate sized drill bit, and then stick the almost-closed loop into a vice. Then grab the tag end with my normal pliers and wrap tightly. As you can see, my method is messier and more difficult than yours! I think I will be abandoning it now, having seen your method.  ;D

I have only recently started doing a double wrap of wire with the tag end, but with my dud method, it's sometimes difficult getting the right tension on the thru-wire.

Thanks for showing me the light!
