Claim 5:
6. A method of working on a large-gauge wire comprising:
providing a wire support tool that comprises: a support clamp comprising a C-clamp adapted to clamp to a support structure, the C-clamp having a flange; a wire clamp plate that is pivotally connected to the flange; and a wire clamp comprising a support block with a threaded opening that receives a threaded member, a stationary wire clamp jaw, and an adjustable wire clamp jaw attached to the threaded member whereby the adjustable wire clamp jaw is movable toward and away from the stationary wire clamp jaw, wherein the stationary and adjustable wire clamp jaws are adapted to capture the wire when the adjustable wire clamp jaw is moved toward the stationary wire clamp jaw; the wire clamp being mounted to the support clamp and angularly adjustable with respect to the support clamp such that an angle of the wire clamp relative to the support clamp is adjustable;
clamping the support clamp to a support structure;
adjusting the angle of the wire clamp relative to the support clamp; and
clamping the wire within the wire clamp by aligning the wire between the adjustable wire clamp jaw and the stationary wire clamp jaw and adjusting the adjustable wire clamp jaw towards the stationary wire clamp jaw.
