The isometric drawing is of 1/2 of the die. Cut a block of hardwood in half, drill through the center along your cut the diameter of your mandrel, then drill half depth, the dimensions of the mandrel + twice your wire diameter. Where that diameter begins, along the edge, drill through one of the two blocks the diameter of the wire.
As the mandrel is turned with the two halves clamped together the jig and fed wire will move along the axis of the mandrel and this jig will keep the wire tight against the coil.
