This is what a bored, addicted hobby builder does when I’m stuck on a long conference call. First you start playing with a paper clip. By hand I managed to bend a snake guide. Call still going…so then look at my pen in my hand. It’s kinda like a small rod, but what to wrap it with? Digging in my drawer (call still going), I find some fairly long skinny rubber bands. Cut them to make two long pieces (two for the wraps, one as a pull through). Hand-wrap the guides with rubber bands. I only had one size and color so I could not cover the full feet of the guide nor do any trim bands. It actually holds really strong. Now whenever I loose my pen, everyone knows who’s it is. “Who’s pen is this?…Oh that has got to be Harold’s”. LOL

Sorry for the quality of the picture, it was from my cell phone…while call was still going on!
