I said:

> Think fishing line.

...and before "n" people pepper my Palm Pilot with:

   "That'll never work - how you gonna embed PLASTIC
   fishing line into foundation?"

I guess I should explain that I have never embedded
wire into foundation, as I found it a waste of time.

I use the wooden wedge on the frame to secure the
foundation at the top-bar, but not before sliding
the foundation between the "wires" so that alternate
wires are on opposite sides of the foundation, as
shown in the ASCII-art side view shown below
( "o" is a wire, and "|" is the foundation)

     o |
       |
       |
       | o
       |
       |
     o |


...which is more than good enough.
