I cut the ends off some old practice light guides so I could improve my polishing technique. Micah said it would be a good idea to get rid of the flaring or chipped ends to make them more like fibers we would use. The next step was to bundle them. I tried Micah's way of bundling by wrapping strips of paper around the fibers to stack them in layers. I found that method quite difficult, and eventually I resorted to stacking the fibers in the sci-fi bundling tool. Once they were in there, I put a collar around them and got the screws started into their threads. Then with one hand I could hold the fibers in the desired configuration and with the other I could finish tightening the screws in the collar.

Today I read about the fiber testing equipment in the [http://zeus.phys.uconn.edu/wiki/index.php/Darkbox_Fiber_Testing_Setup Darkbox Fiber Testing Setup page] and identified many components.

I'm about ready to be tested for knowledge of the fiber testing apparatus. I do know also that I need to be filled in on some things too.
