[TheForge] A spiral jig or form

Thu Jan 17 14:17:00 2002

This is sounding awfully like the spiral globe the Bill Wojcik just =
demonstrated at Gichner's hammer-in.  Don't bother scanning it.  Just give =
me the page number in the cookbook and I'll look it up when I get home =
tonight.

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
