Ivan, that’s pretty good stuff! The wire connector is just icing on the cake.
I just use my electrician clip. The only thing I don’t like about it is that there’s no weight there. You’ve got to keep a hold on it!
Nice set of ear and nose rings you’ve got there!
Duckster, nice collection.
I make do with the dubbit. Spinning it is fun.

Ron, I saw that when you posted it …after… I made most of my similar ones…out of the candle end of a candle stick holders from the thrift store….I like yours better for that style…although with the holders I can add lead shot for the advantages of weight…I suspect yours are heavy enough though…if I were starting now I’d probably do your way and just substitute a cup hook…cup hooks might be a less expensive source of the hooks and not require bending…nice job:cool:.
Normand, the bodkins are frustrating me …but you ought to see my lanyards:p
