new way to bend the legs for centered coils

[eyerhere]

building centered coils has been driving me nuts until now. trying to use even my smallest needle nose pliers getting the bend right where I wanted it at just the right angle agrivated the crap out of me.

So after building a coil I put the leg inside a blunt tip needle, slid it back to where I wanted the bend and voila perfect 90 right where I wanted it going exactly the direction I wanted. I like purdy coils.

Great idea thanks for sharing.

I will definitely give this a try next time I rebuild. Nice little tip.

That does sound like a great trick. Thank you.

Good show! My dripper needs recoiling soon, and I'll be giving this a shot. Pliers (in my case, tweezers) were a huge pain.

Great idea OP. I just spent way too much time building some tricky vertical coils. Wish I had seen this first lol.
