Mike,

The major problem that I have had with the Fornhan Locking Wrap is that I have had trouble " twecking" (sp) the guides into alignment. It seems that I always break the thread if I try to move the guides after I complete these wraps.. Can the guides be moved after the Forhan Locking Wrap?? (or am I asking a stupid question?) Is there a trick to alinging the guides before completeing the wrap?

Ed Smith

I'm able to tweak my guides now - I just don't put a lot of tension on the locking wraps (like I used to).

Ed;
if you are have a problem breaking threads when tweeking . I would suggest loosening up your tention just a little.

Yes, you should still be able to adjust guide alignment with a completed Forhan wrap.

If you can't, then the thread tension is too tight. Try backing off a bit and try again.

The tutorial was sort of fun to do. Glad people found it useful.

Terry

Thanks Terry
Nicely Done!!!!
