Look and feel tends to be more important than functionality.Aaronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05150805906414546377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21068675.post-44539714197211677272010-11-18T00:01:53.226-08:002010-11-18T00:01:53.226-08:00Very happy to come across this blog!
Have you tri...Very happy to come across this blog!<br /><br />Have you tried using a spring?<br /><br />Take a piece of acrylic sheet - or a CD cover. Cut a strip.<br /><br />Heat it (you can use an iron or space heater, or easily build a bending jig - this is how all that mod acrylic stuff was made in the 70s).<br /><br />While hot, wrap it around the smallest steel needle you want to hold. <br /><br />The resulting spring resembles the flat-wire coils that connect the telephone's receiver to the body.<br /><br />This should open to grip a range of needles larger than the one it was wrapped around.<br /><br />You may need to rough up the surface of the plastic for more grip.Ben Davidhttp://b_david2@netvision.net.ilnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21068675.post-2390168112659266602010-02-21T10:59:25.141-08:002010-02-21T10:59:25.141-08:00:( they worked well for #0/#1 needles.
