<\/p>\nThis is where the wire jig really came into its own.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Getting the consistent curves in this component were a breeze with the jig but would have been a total pain without it.<\/p>\n
(Note: I’m not actually trying to get them absolutely perfectly identical. I think if you want that sort of perfection, then get a machine-made piece. The small, organic variations in the curves, just tell me it is one of a kind. Of course, the difference between small organic variation and sloppy work is in the eye of the beholder and potentially a slippery slope)<\/p>\n
Next was to make the other components. Laying them all out together, it seems that they are a bit too big, but looking good.<\/p>\n

A little bit of re-jigging (if you will excuse the pun) and things are basically ready to put together. I have soldered the middle section, but stopped for the evening (after more than 9 hours in the studio) so that I don’t completely stuff it up, being this close.<\/p>\n
