A work of art...

[hijack]

Thought I would get a coil jig so went for one that looked solid, all metal...


Thats the bizz, is that...Then I started to figure out how it works 

I dont now why, but I ended up on the floor in uncontrollable fits of laughter.



Move over Damien Hurst there's a new guy in town.

I would have it it came with one. Been scouring the web for answers but best I can get is...The 6 sizes of mandrill screw in the big 'L' and you hold the wire with one other screw while you wind it on by hand.(which is what i do anyway using my thumb as the screw and a screwdriver)
Another said the turny handle goes in either small or large hole, the small 'L' goes on that and again the wire is held by a screw and the coil is produced on the turny handle.
Just doesnt make sense that it is 2 different jigs in 1, why would you want the 2nd option as you have those size in the mandrills?
That big hole in the big 'L' is threaded, but there is nothing that will screw in there???

I see...............



























































Actually NO I DON'T!!

I'd guess it is two in one, the windy handle bits allow you wind your coils under tension whilst the mandrels don't, not sure how you configure the windy handle bits though

[VapingBad]

Well if you cant find the instructions you can always put it on the shed roof to see which way the wind is blowing

Add some fairy lights and some twigs, pair of tea lights in wiko glass holders either side, will look well cool and trendy....

that is so true...

[Skwoddy]

First coil jig review I watched the other week was something similar

[hijack]

Yeh you got it Skwoddy I wanted to see who from the AAEC think-tank came up the answer.

I did have it figured and did some pics, but to be honest its a disaster design...When i get my vice I will turn it into what it should have been.

So for those who want to see the 2 'methods' if you want to call it that...Here they are.
1.
The turny handle method..

That is what works best a nice tight coil that makes itself when you turn the handle.


2.
the mandrill method..



Well I was close with that 1 at least....
Not so great this way they should have just made a handle that screws on each mandrill and drilled a hole for each size in the big 'L' for some reason they missed out the hole for the 4mm mandrill. then you could have the small 'L' on whatever mandrill you wanted and wound it around using the threaded handled mandrill.
They really didnt have a clue when making this.
Been fun guys
