This latest twist isn’t new at all in one fundamental way - the layout concept is very similar to something in the original RT (Roger Taylor) paper from 1980 ,later included as the instruction booklet sold by Rio Grande with the RT kit. Using this “side-cutter” (my name for the layout) approach is also old, as far as dies I’ve made, but using it to cut designs into the side of wire didn’t come to mind until just a few weeks ago. These are some of the test dies, and the pieces I made (for Mrs. S.) with them.
