No that we're all calmed down from that; (lmao) here is a Fralien I put in the Tobhino a minute ago. 2x26 ka1 frames, 9x.5 N80 cores, 36 SS316L wrap. 22g decore for the swooshy swooshy.

Once you get a feel for tension, angle and if your paraclap has no errors, it pretty easy to fuse something quickly. If you have any errors while fusing they tend to stand out, even with 50g

This is something I am just learning. It is extremely hard for me to not try and force every fuse into every stag individually. But I'm starting to get into wire that I can't see well enough to do that. Even with 4x mag the 42 is hard to see, for me. Anything smaller and I might as well not be wearing them anyways. The hardest part for me is- I don't have steady hands at all. So I might just be stuck in the 40-42 range for anything more than just plain old fusing.

I tend to rest my hand on my lap when I'm doing staggers, with a good distance I could even sneeze and hand wiggles won't matter

I dont do any skipping though, not yet, hurts my head and I hate taking breaks when I'm on a build

Yep Like @Pegleg Meg is sayin, the further away your hand is from the wire, the less your hand movement will change the fuse angle.

Congrats mate! looking great was this your first success with it?

Not happy with this i tried many times with 36g wrap and looked better and tighter with stitching just kept collapsing my cores.. specs on this 16*.3 28g frames and 38g without stitching and now i regret i did not stitch

Yep Like @Pegleg Meg is sayin, the further away your hand is from the wire, the less your hand movement will change the fuse angle.

@Pegleg Meg @chrisakasparky - Yah I always clap/fuse at least a foot or more from my wire. Unless im doing a non standard fuse pattern , then I'm all up close and personal with it. I rest my wrist on my slide out keyboard drawer and slide down the edge of it. But even then my hands tend to shake a bit, and I have yet to figure out how to EXACTLY center the wire where there is no wobble during the spin. I don't tend to have problems with stag/fuse 38. I probably just need more practice with the superfine (40g+). I'm sure i'll get it eventually.

clamps help with that ...the chuck in my drill doesn’tmeet flush at the end so it’s a pain to get stuff centre in it ..a clamp like raymos one or hand vice really helps

Well I popped a fuse installing the coil in the KTX....
When I put the coil in and tightened one screw down I put in the coiling jig and for whatever reason I let go thinking the mod would hold it up, it fell off my bench and hit the floor...Mod, RDA, and Jig. The coil was horribly bent out of shape and I did my best to fix it back up, in doing so I popped a fuse.

Yah I've been meaning to grab a clamp from @raymo2u . Just never seem to have the funds while they are in stock

Use a bent paperclip loop like I do!

Tried the paper clip route. Can't figure out how to get wider builds on it without bending the shit out of either the stick or the clip. I have some 18g steal wire I've been playing with a lot lately trying to find different ways to make a consistent center point to work from. I have one, that I bent to look just like a cotter pin, in the tool box that is my go to for almost everything up to 1.5 mm wide or so. And I seem to be finding pockets of success with other bending variations on wider builds. Just haven't quite nailed it down yet.

and omg .... that ssfc is B-E-A-UTIFULL!! (please tell me someone gets the reference)

I’m almost certain @Pegleg Meg had a huge hair clip or something to use in the chuck or was I just imagining that meg?

 

[raymo2u]

@KingPin! I used a few, no one was home When it hit the ground I just starred at it...then picked it up expecting a black hole and then tried to fix it, when that fuse lifted when I finished fixing the coil is when I couldnt help but laugh nervously, cry, and swear...

@chrisakasparky Yes, its from the TM24 Pro


@WPMac You can always get a HandVise from Ebay ($12)
Its what made me design the clamps, I used it before the clamps. Make sure you have a 1/2" drill chuck for it to fit though.
Reference was from Pet Detective right?

That was just for frames or multiple round cores - I let that method go recently, though, and just use the chuck for frames

And a raymo clamp for wide alll-aribbon builds yep

Got a little wild in the middle. I always feel like it's going so slow,so I speed up then trash the coil. After the 7 minute hedgehog I feel like this should go faster.

I try to build at least 4-5 days a week. Even if it's just a 10 minute session to throw something simple together. As a builder, you know this is such a practiced skill. If I take more than a day or two off I can always tell the next time I sit down behind the drill. And, as a musician, I learned a looong time ago that a practice regiment is key to unlocking potential!

Download Gyazo, then right click any picture and you will see "Send to Gyazo" and select that option. It screen captures the shot and automatically opens the page in your browser for the screen shot. Then right click the screen capture and "copy image address", come to the forum post and click the Picture button next to the Smile Button and paste in the address.

Its alot faster and easier then it sounds and it allows you to add 20 more pictures per post on top of the 10 you can upload normally. This is how Ive been adding pics here. Gyazo allows you to screen capture and screen record by selecting what to capture with a rectangle crop by just clicking the Gyazo button the the desktop too.
