In making the miniature pulley body, I already know of several improvements in construction should I decide to make another (or of this one gets lost). Here's the steps I followed in making this body:
- Lay out lines to keep spindle and axle aligned
- Lay out lines where body will be bent
- Center punch and drill spindle hole
- Clamp piece in vise (although for 22ga, you really could use some smooth-jawed lock jaw pliers) and make the first bend. Clean up the crease over the edge of something suitable.
- Clamp the body in the bench vise against a piece of bar stock and make the second bend, cleaning up the crease as you go.
- Cut a piece of wood to thickness and wedge it in the body, before center punching on one side and drilling the axle hole through both sides
- Make a nail head at one end of a piece of wire, which will eventually be the eye hook. Insert the wire through the spindle hole, then fit the axle holes over the spindle used in the making of the pulley wheel.
- Clamp the construction fixture to the belt sander, and, using the wire through the spindle hole to rotate the metal on the axle, carefully sand the body to the desired profile.

I've been collecting these for about 20 years. I travel light and change locations often so I don't like to buy anything large that I have to carry around with me. My favourite is the simple piece of rope that a lady in India twisted up for me in about 30 seconds from a handful of coconut hair. This shelf is a nice way to gather sentimental keepsakes without having them end up in a junk drawer.

This was my first attempt at "diorama effect" photo. I think it turned out ok, but I wasn't overly happy with the blur on the closer buildings.
