This is how some of the grids were made by Miley's group. (they have built many systems, by many grad students, over the last 20 years.

Some were also assembled by bundling the long stems, as well, instead of the tube held method.

The other grids, (cross ways) can be attached by binding with 1mil or similarly fine W wire.

Good work Jon. Tungsten will have the same cleanup issues as Ta, but have the edge on the melting point.

I might try my hand at this method. at some point and it might just be NOW as my current grid system is faulty. I don't know if I will have time to implement a lot of stuff for fusor IV before the bash, but I am moving on some of them.
