Step 4: Position three metal pegs and one Super Peg on a WigJig Cyclops as shown as right. Use a 1/4" Super Peg if you only have 1/2 hard wire. Use 5/16" if you have soft wire. Step by step pictures of the steps used are found here.

Step 5: Grasp 3-1/2 inches of straight 20G wire with chain nose or bent chain nose pliers about 3/4" from the end. Bend the wire to make an 85% angle.

Step 6: Grasp the wire at the bend using your round nose pliers and make a 1/2 of a loop in the wire. Reposition the wire in the grip of the round nose pliers to complete the loop.
