Hi Eric, Yes, sorry, but I did try to get closer in, and a better angle, but the focus suffered and the flash washed it out. What I posted was the best of four, with a bit of digital sharpening and exposure tweak. To do better, I would need better equipment, and the knowledge of how to use it. But the essential thing is that the short end of the U just goes back out next to the long end. Up and over the tail of the loop and through the loop. Or, to describe it a bit differently, the wire comes through the loop over the tail, passes under the wire, and goes back out over the tail.
