Thanks man took me All Day yesterday took a page out of @fig book once I saw him do the point to point soldering I had to try something similar I might go all the way with point to point on one build.

I learnt it from master @Mcknib. You took it to the next level, that looks wild! Nice bends

@Mcknib you rock!

Thanks so much I want to go even further and do a whole pedal point to point!

Looks great! What wire size do you use for P2P? I imagine you can buy it bare right? I’d be interested to give it a try

I bought 22 gauged wire and used a drill to straighten it out and cut to your desired length!

Point to point using some sort of turret board?
I once made a Bazz Fuss by soldering the components directly to each other while using (thick solid core) wire that held everything in place to connect to jacks and stuff. That wasn't on your level of bending execution though ...

Looks like im going to need thick solid core to hold it all in place! Thanks for the heads up!

You can also fold it back on itself ie 4 feet becomes 2 feet long.
Clamp in the vice & the folded end in the Drill Chuck & hold tight & slowly turn drill on & stop at desired twist.
With a couple of runs you will get a feel for it.

That might be my solution to thick gauge wire instead of buying a whole new spool

I learned to do it when working on Sprintcars where Captured bolts were required to be drilled through the head of the bolt & tied with Stainless steel wire to prevent bolt loosening & falling out!
It looks way neater than a single strand Ha Ha!
