[TheForge] A spiral jig or form

Thu Jan 17 10:55:01 2002

Hi Bruce,

Reading my description I see you are correct that its not clear.  These are
12 pieces spiraled into a cage shape, 2 turns around, the cage at the bottom
is larger than the one at the top.  Perhaps I should scan the picture and
send it.  Let me know.

Thanks,

Mata
