CJ - Once you've done some powder coating with the L shaped wires and if you don't misplace them!!!LOL pour let cool and pull the core shafts and then put them on the L shaped wires.
When I make the spinners I don't really cut per length - I cut a bunch of wire from the coils and using the hand former make all the open eye shapes. Then put your hooks on and wrap them up. If you had a Netcraft wire former you get used to knowing how long to have the wire above the bead in order to make the top eyelet and even then I've mangled a few!!!LOL Any extra wire I cut off before the eyelet if not long enough to make another spinner I form into a V-spinner frame - I don't let it go to waste.

1/32 - Treble 10 or 8 Blades 0 or 00 Beads use whatever you want Clevis folded or stirrup 1
1/16 - Treble 8 or 6 Blades 0 or 1 Beads use whatever you want Clevis folded or stirrup 1
1/8 - Treble 6 or 4 or 2 Blades 1 or 2 Beads use whatever you want Clevis folded or stirrup 1
I've never found a set standard for beads, so buy a bunch even the craft store ones, I'm really liking the fancy Czech multi colored glass beads. Take a piece of your spinner wire with you to the store and try beads on the wire - you want then to move freely and not stick. Clevis's I've been using more of the folded than the stirrup, the squared edge of the stirrups seem to pick up stuff as you retreive - if the edges of the stirrups by the hole for the wire were rounded off I'd like them more.
If you want to copy exactly take the spinner with you to the craft store and match the beads that way

CJ - No problem with the questions - I learned through trial and error and what I had to go by in the Netcraft instruction book.
