Step #2

Making the Earpieces:
Set frame aside and cut 2 pieces of
tubing to the width of the inside of
the jig.

Pick up the earpiece wire. The smooth
end is used to make the coil for the
hinge, and the stamped end is used
to hold the tubing in place. Slide the
tubing on the earpiece wire from the
smooth end over the stamping and
slightly past the end of the wire (so
it doesn’t scratch when the glasses
are put on).
.
.

.
Put the smooth end of the earpiece
wire in the widest part of the pliers
and bend to about 90 degrees.
.
.
.

Insert the short piece of straight
wire in the hold farthest from you
in the metal block on the jig. Insert
the bent end of the earpiece wire
into the hole closest to you. Now
put the shorter straight wire through
the small hole in the end of the bender
with one pin.

Note: If you have trouble getting the
wire in the small hole, there may be
a burr on the end of the wire. Just cut
off a tiny bit off of the end of the wire.
This will allow it to go in easier.
