Then, take a new 22-gauge copper wire and coil the right outer bail wire (fig. 5e, 5f, 5g).

Repeat the coiling process on the opposite side (fig. 5h, 5i, 5j).

Step 6 of 9

Widen the coiled outer bail angle to make space for the inner bail (fig. 6a).

Then, take a new 26-gauge copper wire as weaving wire for the inner bail (fig. 6b).

Start the weaving combo with 3 clockwise coils on the right inner bail wire (fig. 6c).

Then, pull the weaving wire across to the left inner bail wire and make 3 anti-clockwise coils (fig. 6d).

Continue weaving until you reach the bail end point (fig. 6e, 6f, 6g, 6h, 6i).

Trim off any excess 22-gauge weaving wire or 26-gauge weaving wire with a wire cutter (fig. 6j, 6k).
