4. Right now, I am using drill chuck to hold the wires in tension.
For long lengths (a metre or more) of relatively thick (20 - 14 gauge) PVC coated stranded wire, that's what I've used. Connect the wires with a knot at each end, so the lengths stay even. Lock one end in a vise mounted on a workbench. Clamp the other end in the chuck of an electric hand drill and run the drill (in the desired direction) while keeping tension on the length. -- Scott
