    To ease the drawing of wire, I use one of those big black paper clips
    that are used for holding stacks of paper together. I think I use the
    one inch size. I clamp it on a huge piece of cotton, maybe about 4
    cotton balls, and soak it with oil. I attach it to the draw plate
    with string or twine, so it wont get lost, then clamp it on the back
    side of the wire before it goes through the DrawPlate. The wire is
    always oiled, the string keeps the clamp from falling on the floor
    when the end of the wire goes through the drawplate. The oil also
    keeps the drawplate oiled and it never rusts due to 'someone'
    forgetting to maintain it... 

Love and God Bless
