Its looking great!
The loopy bits are pretty easy to make. Take a strand of wire from some speaker wire and bend it around a small drill bit (.08, I think) and grab the two ends with a pair of hemostats, (I used my fingers, don't recomend that.) and twist them untill tight. Cut and repeat!

Does not sound like fun, Paul. If and when I get around to rigging my F3F, there will be no loopy thingies.

You know what I said about my stereo, well forget it. It doesn't have nearly that many wires. 
I'm sure it will look great Bill, but doing that would drive me up the wall.

Your about ready for the fun part Bill………………………..Just kidding.
On model had 46 strands and another 40 but I did cheat with the tails as if the strand went through one side and out the other, I just threaded it through with a shim either side.
