Beware the wire coil monster

Posted by mfsob on Wednesday, March 1, 2006 8:01 PM

Those of you thinking about using using some of Radio Shack's 30-gauge "magnet wire" in a diorama or for some other use need to be very, very careful when you take the last little bit of tape off the spool ... you have 200 feet of this spagehtti-like stuff, and it has been under a lot of pressure for a long time.

And that's all I have to say about that.

It isn't often I read something that makes me laugh out loud. I'm willing to bet that the reason you don't have anything to say about it, is that you've used up the vocabulary at the time!

So long folks!

mfsob,

Bummer about about the attack of the wire coil monster, but (and there always is one), there is great visual effect with your description, and coupled with the fact that this was posted at 0200......well Big Smile <img src= " src="/FSM/CS/emoticons/icon_smile_big.gif">
