I was impressed by your use of the metal box when annealing the wire. Some years ago, we had a project that needed much finer wire than we had on hand so we started putting the silver through the draw plate. It quickly became very hard. I attached one end to each of the electrodes on an electric resistance soldering machine and slowly turned up the voltage. The red color slowly proceeded from one end to the other. When the wire sagged, it was soft. After the first round, we used the draw plate again. The wire was getting long so we draped the mid-point over a ceramic insulator and annealed it again. One more full cycle and we had enough wire for the job and it was dead soft. Just had to be careful not to put up the electricity too quickly.
i dont really know what you did with the wood rolling technique but it seems like you rolled up the wire until the it would not roll anymore? then flatten it.... whats the specs on flattening the wire and what gauge were you using. so speedy of a video my gosh i though i just got done running by the end.... pretty wild. looks nice tho
That just shows and explains everything! (NOT)! This is where that thing they say about assuming (ASSUME) comes in. An ASS- (out of) - U - (and) ME. I searched for fillegree wire twisting and got this fast motion thing. Oh wait, I can go to my settings and slow it down to .25, maybe I'll see something!! Afterall, viewers want to be treated like they are idiots.
Hi, thanks for your feedback. This video was not meant to be instructional. If you are interested in learning more about making filigree, I have an online class available: lynetteandreasen.podia.com/flourishing-filigree
