Forgot to post these pictures up the other day.

The quick release knobs used in the Wire3 had large washers and chain to act as keepers. I ended up using a handheld punch setup in the shop press to punch the small hole into the washers. The chain wire was then passed through the small hole and then the wire was welded up. I decided to do a number of practice welds first and I am glad I did. I had the Mig welder down to the lowest heat and speed settings to get them welded up. If I lingered the wire heated up too much and would evaporate.
