Here is a few pics of how I do it. I like to put the foundation in first myself.
Wire holder and frame holder (copied from Walter Kelley), no. 15 torx driver, star wire embedder, needle nose pliers with cutters, small hammer, jar to hold small nails and brass eyelets.
Brass eyelet on the torx driver, I find this works better than the eyelet setting tool you can buy.
Installing the eyelets.
Drive small nail in the end bar between the eyelets. This is for the cross wiring to attach to.
Foundation installed and wedge nailed in. I use three small nails and wired foundation with hooks.
Run the wire through the top set of eyelets, then through the bottom set of eyelets. Three turns around the small nail in the end bar.
With the needle nose pliers I give a couple of good tugs to pull the slack out of it and then three wraps around the nail.
Drive the small nail home, I do like to pull the ends of the wires up parallel to the end bar so they will be embedded into the wood and not prick your fingers.
Trim the wire ends off, give another tap with the hammer to embed the wires into the wood.
Run the star wheel across both wires and you are done. It works best when the wax is at around a minimum of 70* F. This wax was a little cold and somewhat brittle.
A finished frame. Once I get cranking on them it takes less than 2 minutes per frame.
