Neat gadget--my dad has one that's 10" or 12", so it was a bit big to borrow for stitching my Ches. 17. Where'd you find a 6" twister?

They do work slick--everyone building a S&G should have one, lazy or not! For everyone unfamiliar with the twister, it is a simple set of locking pliers with a knob between the handles that you pull and it automatically spins the pliers and twists the wire.
