Step 1. Simply place an eyelet on the eyelet insertion tool and firmly press into the pre-drilled holes on the side of the end bar on the frame. Eyelet insertion tool Eyelet being put into the end bar Step 2. Once all the eyelets have been inserted, it is time to start cross wiring. You will need two 11/16 inch nails. These nails will be the tie off point for the wire. You will sink the nail, halfway, on the front side of the end bar. Again, donâ€™t hammer the nail all the way. Hammering it half way should be adequate. Step 3. Now with the wire on the wiring device, take the wire and run it through the eyelet at the top of the frame, run it across the frame and through the opposite eyelet. Then, loop it through the second from top eyelet, and run it back across the frame and through the opposite end eyelet. Step 4. One end of the wire should be wrapped around the nail. Now using the needle-nose pliers, pull the opposite wire tightly. As youâ€™re keeping tension on the wire, wrap it around the same nail. Once youâ€™ve done that, you can hammer the nail the rest of the way into the end bar. Step 5. Any excess wire hanging from the nail can be trimmed off with some side wire cutters. If you are doing a deep frame, you will have to do this process twice. If you are cross wiring shallow or medium frames this process will only be done once.
