[R-390] Spiral-making tool website?

[Dan Merz]

Hi,  the resultant pigtail is called a "quig".  I wonder if this is an
acronym for "quick pigtail" and now wonder if I can add the word "quig" to
my scrabble dictionary.  Every other weird non-word seems to be in there.
This looks like a very useful device to produce a quig, and it's now on my
list to make also, though the pin vise version may suffice.  I'll try that
first.  Thanks.
Now if someone would just tell me the best way for splicing some old cotton
covered, outer- shielded 7 conductor (stranded wire) cable without producing
a large lump.  Maybe use small brass tubing to butt connect the wires?? It
always seems to boil down to insulating the wires from one another after the
connections are made.  With two or three conductors,  I've slipped shrink
wrap on each conductor prior to connection and moved it over after
connection.  Maybe there's a better way??   Dan.

Hi Roy,

I keep thinking I "gotta make one"!   - here it is:

Al Klase deserves credit, and if you come with any improvements, please 
pass them along.
