Blind Bruce, <br /> <br />The popsicle sticks are glued together with the ni-chrome wire sandwiched in between them. You might want to start by tacking the wire along the center for about an inch and a half, then bend a pointy wedge on both sides, then tack the outside wire strips to the sticks. The surplus wire should stick straight out of the popsicle stick sandwich. The wires form the power leads to your ditch hotwire. We are essentially replacing a hotwire bow with a ridgid wooden bow. <br /> <br />Don't forget to add a simple momentary contact switch to the circuit. This will allow you to start and stop cutting exactly where you want without tinkering with your voltage setting.
