- Draw 5 circles form the center. Start with a 58 x 58 mm and shape of 12 mm for each circle.
- Delete the anchor point on the side of the circle by using the direct selection tool. Star with the left side and go on in turns form there:
- Align the semicircles, using the selection tool:
- Draw a straight 70 mm line from the bottom anchor point of the outer semicircle upwards.
- From the top anchor point of the line, draw a 23 mm line to the left.
Join the anchor points, by selection the two points you want to join and hit Cmd + J
Select the anchor point at the bottom, you will get a bigger dot inside the edge. (Only in Adobe CC Versions, I think). Click and drag This handle and you are able to round your edge to your liking.
- Apply a stroke width of 10pt
2 options:
1. Drap a circle inside a circle inside a circle, cut and connect between them - this takes more time but will be the most specific
2. The easiest but less specific way is with the with the spiral tool which you can control with arrows up and down and then expand

1The spiral tool does not keep the same distance between segments, which makes it impossible to get the intended result. Commented Mar 4, 2015 at 13:11
