How to bend the whisker for a point-contact multiplier

This is a demo, done with huge wire and screwdrivers, of how to make the half-circle bend in a whisker wire for a millimeter-wave frequency multiplier as sold by Millitech in the 1990s. The wire is really 1/2 mil diameter phosphor bronze or nickel gold wire, and the screwdrivers are really .010" piano wire sharpened to chisel points with 1 micron 3M diamond abrasive sheet.
