You're really dating yourself with that tape moistener.

It's goes to a 4 dimensional gun drill for boring worm holes.

Or, it's a lamp filament before the steel mandrel gets dissolved out.
One of the more offbeat things I work on is designing tooling for
winding unusual filaments. That one's a straightforward shape, unusual
only because it's for a high watt, low voltage lamp.

Soooo, what kind of tooling will make that kind of winding, Ned?
Those must be expensive lamps to warrant the extra steps of dissolving
the steel core, neutralizing the acid, etc.

Cool. What's the actual size?

I like offbeat work like that. I've recently put up a teepee for one
client and bid on repairing a broken casket for another.
