Make a Double Eye Needle |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
Double Eye Needle Snaking Tool. It is about 12 inches long. |
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
This is what these needles will look like after they have repaired dozens of 75 Bodies. |
|
|
|
The wire you choose should be soft, but a little bit on the stiff side. If it is too soft it won't allow you to turn the tip of the needle inside the pieces and you need to be able to do this to snake around all of the obstacles. I use .032 Stainless Steel because that is what I have. |
|
|
 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
I will be using 18 ga Brass Wire in this demonstration because it is easier to see. For the actual tool use as thin a wire as you can find. The thinner the wire is the easier it will snake around through the body parts. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Start with a 24 inch length of wire and bend it in half. |
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Crimp the end with pliers. |
|
|
|
Hold with a pair of pliers about an inch and a half from the end. Keep pressure on the pliers so the wires can't slide through the pliers. |
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Use you thumb and finger and start twisting the wire again and again until the twisted area is about an inch and a half long. |
|
|
Spread out the open side. |

|
|
 |
|
|
|
|
Move the pliers down the wire about an inch and twist again until the rest of the wire is twisted. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Put about a quarter inch long, 45 degree bend in the end of the needle and it is finished. |
