Have you looked at different brand coil jigs Mate? There's heaps out there available and they all do exactly the same thing!
I have. And you are right. What I don't want is plastic or cheaply designed (thin) Aluminum. I was set on the Stainless for two reasons, [1] It does not rust. [2] Durability, say the screws threads strip, they can be tapped to a slightly larger size, be that mm or sae.
I'm mainly wanting to buy quality tooling. Buy once-Cry Once. I'm open so suggestions.
I just use the stepped coiling rods that have multiple sizes on one rod. Inexpensive and work great for my needs. I bought a few different coiling kits but don’t use any of them.
I would love to be able to use something as simple as a coiling mandrel. I tried making a few coils on different size rods. It was a major chore to hang on too with my left hand. Due to getting my hand crushed years ago. So I have to buy what's available to make the task less frustrating.
Edit- I think I'll buy the one from WireOptum and be done with my self torture...lol.

Good morning shiny people. I have to put together a sideboard hutch that the wife ordered today. I also have a cabinet to assemble for vape gear in the basement.
Morning shinies 
I've gone backwards with building. When I was new I found it easier to wind by hand with the rod. But I was using 28g round wire. Now that I'm hooked on fused clapton wire I can only wind them easily with a 2-piece jig.

Good afternoon shinies,
Done with the organization, forgot that I bought flat cables too, might be handy to use when I make my first mod.
Little plans for the day otherwise, keep an eye on packages, and since the evening is young I'm going to disassemble my SXMini Vi and see how it looks inside lol

You're right - Sydney has some magical views if you make the effort. It's a tough city in some ways but good in others.
I'll pay for the two hours of sleep at work tommorrow but it was worth it..
I apologize for not responding to PMs and texts right now. My dog Haley has been very sick with pancreatitis and in and out of the Tufts specialty hospital for testing.
I’m beyond exhausted physically and emotionally. I promise to catchup at some point this week.
In the meantime send some prayers her way. Thanks sara and Haley

Good evening Shinies.
Don't worry about getting back to me re: the attys. Please take all the time you need.
I hope Haley makes a swift recovery. It takes such a toll when they get sick...don't forget to take care of yourself too.
