    Nice job! How do the spinner pieces come apart? What wire did you use?

    Screwdriver pry the punched spots open. I used a Welding wire. But I believe piano wire is available at PBR. Maybe a hanger wire would work...,

    Here is how I do it. Source very hard wood, drive 3 nails into into in a triangle pattern spaced far enough apart to fit wire diameter. Then bend away. No more pliers and sloppy bends.
