Hi Art

I made the former out of plywood and half inch doweling, when
twisting the wire I aimed for two full turns per inch, the wire I
used filled the former with about 6 to 8 foot of wire over. As a
matter of interest you say on your page you used aprox 2000 feet of
wire on a 12 by 12 inch former, from my experience with my former I
would say you only used aprox 1000 feet of wire.
