Up





Take a piece of stainless steelwire. The diameter depends on the goal you want to use the screw eye for. In this case we choose a diameter of 0.8 mm. Cut it to the desired length.







Take the wire in a pair of roundnosed pliers, at aproximately the middle of the wire. Take the wire in your left hand. Turn the pliers away from you and while you hold the wire firmly, turn the wire untill the pliers bounce. Now use your left thumb as a counterweight and push a little harder in order to get a nice indentation in the semi-circular shape. Then you turn the wire 180° round the axis and repeat this.









After that put the eye with the swivel in a vice. With the help of a pair of combination-pliers you can wrap the two ends of wire around eachother till you get a screw.

If you want to make sure your screw eyes are fastened tightly, drill a small hole and put epoxy glue on the screw of the screw eye before you screw it in. Then your screw eye is fixed as a house.
