Wire work

So I'm making a stapler out of wire. This is (1) to pay tribute to Office Space,yes it is a Swingline but unfortunately not red, and (2) my attempt to pick something no one else will. This is after trying to make a respirator mask I had left over from my days at the fertilizer plant and coming up short on wire. Besides it looked too much like a basket. That was followed by my watch, which I finished but it looked too flat and reminded me of an 80s Swatch watch wall clock. My idea of a match book fell to the same fate of being too planar. I wanted to make an alarm clock, the round kind with the hands and a face but all of the ones a found were the squat boxes, that look like a fat person sat on them, with the digital displays. Stupid evolution of electronics. Hence my attempt to go old school. The stapler. Elegant and complex while being simple and sophisticated.

I have got that stupid wire caught on everything trying to bend it to my will and compose a masterpiece and I really should be wearing glasses cuz I like my eyes the way they are.
