"The copper is to add a rim around the pulley wheels just to give it some depth. I have various grades/thikness's of copper wire and i take off what i want, wind it around a drill that is slightly smaller than the wheel, so it looks like a spring - slide it off the drill and then cut across the coils so that it leaves you with rings. I then put a ring into a pair of smooth faced pliers and give it a squeeze and there you have a flat ring or even instrument bezel, all stucl on with c/a thin stuff, or a little liquid glue just to hold it and then c/a to finish the job"
Yeah just like that ! Can you imagine me , a roll of copper wire and a drill !! Probably end up with a finger with wire wrapped round it :smiling2:
Great idea, and something I would like to try so have put it in my note book .
Looks even better with some paint, that hose end snap connection is the dogs , no doubt you made that as well :smiling2: brilliant.
