Thanks for the tip!
Coil Building Show Offs (Part II)

I built these Staple Staggertons for The TM24 PRO which should be here any day. Twisted Messed had them on sale for 20 bones so I really did barrow the cash for this one. I couldnāt help myself because I am such a cheap skate and broke to boot, I never would have paid full price for it even if I had the cash.
Anywho, when it gets here Iāll post a pic of them sitting on the TM241 PRO!! Specs to come

Now THIS is a macro coil. Little unsure of what batteries one should use with it thoughā¦

So you say you cannot make a braid, but you can produce something like this?
IMO a braid is a hell of a lot easier to makeā¦ very nicely done!

Well some people have easier times with things that are not declared āeasyā others canāt do that at all. At least from my experience, Iāve tried so many times a staggered fused clapton, because it apparently falls under the category of simple/beginner.
I just canāt do it, then alien and helix I can do without even paying attention, even so itās not simple or beginner lol.
Itās the dumbest thing ever, I gave up on that stupid staggered, my flavor is better from the other ones anyways, but it does irritate me that I canāt get something simple to work. In this case I can see why this might be easier than the braid (still havenāt tried braiding but on my list) Good job on the staggertons, Dan

Thank you my dear.
ya, with the braids my hands cramp up and it is extremely painful.
So what part do you have trouble with? I would hazard a guess and say spacing. If so, I have a little tool that helps with that. The thing is awesome! As a matter of fact, I will be posting a video, showing how to use it within the next couple days.

Iāve seen a couple of those vids already. Most skip the details about the tool they use or have bad close-ups so itās hard to see what they do / how they achieve their results. Iāll be keeping an eye out for it

I know right? That is funny because I have already made 3 vids. or I should say ātriedā to make 3 videos. I have to get the camera angle right and Iām right handed and and and. I even tried to get my nephew to hold the camera but that didnāt work either.
Anywho, when I finish it I will post it in this thread.

Well thatās my new problem lol.
At the beginning my problem was that my wires were too small to stay in the chuck and swivels, even hand drill didnāt work, neither did tape/glue and all that stuff lol. Finally got that too work.
Spacing, I get it done with higher gauges (24,26) but the moment I try smaller gauges (28,30,32) thereās no hope for it. It either wonāt stay in place, twists all up or actually bunches all together. I tried a couple methods and items people seem to prefer. I just havenāt bought a specific tool for it yet.
Definitely looking forward to your video, I am always happy to experiment and trying out different methods etc.

I did mess it up but who cares at this stage
you have natural talent!

@adary It looks like it has a Golden Hue color. Is that the wire? or lighting? or image processing?

Light in this case. The wire is ss316L and i took the photo with max zoom on my phone.no post processing on this one
