  2. Pass the SST  (piano wire), cut to sufficient length, through the hole.
    WARNING:
    • Using the SST (piano wire) with bare hands can cause injury. Always wear gloves when using the SST (piano wire).
  3. Wind each end of the SST  (piano wire) around a bar.
    NOTE:
    • Use a long sawing action to spread the work over the whole length of the SST  (piano wire) to prevent it from breaking due to localized heating.
