<description><![CDATA[Put the twist in before bending either tabs or handle. Think production. &quot; If you want to learn how to make something, take an order for 200. By the time you make 20, you will figure out a better way&quot;.Mark centerline before drawing out, so you can drawout equally. Jig the bends.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Started trying to make drawer pulls copying an original.<br />
<br />
Here is the original part.<br />
<br />

<br />
Another angle.<br />

<br />
Using pipe cleaners to measure the shape I get finished size of 9 inches.<br />
Estimating the length after drawing I started with 7 inches of 3/8ths.<br />
I tapered both ends.<br />
<br />
Here is where I think there has to be a better way.<br />
<br />
I formed the metal into a chain link, bent the ends to form the &quot;ears&quot;, and then put in the twist.<br />
<br />

<br />
It seems when I put the twist in last, I get it off center.<br />
<br />
If I twist before forming the chain link, I tend to flatten the twist.<br />
<br />
How would you do it?????]]></description>
