Those are beautiful! So, did you you fuse or solder- inquiring minds want to know.

I like the lacy wire in the middle.

Here's a link that I have found useful for netting if you want to try that. Skip to about the 5 min mark for the netting.

My granddaughter has a wreath of these on her bedroom door. I made sooooo many when I was perfecting the fusing. She put them to good use.

Cute shape and nice hammering on the wire. The tight bends are also looking very good. Adrian

That solder is a little tricky at first. It can get over heated real easy and turn real dark. You do know it doesn't need flux, right? I've gotten fairly good at it. PM me any questions you might have.

Your fuses look great!

rocknrob: There was a shop in Portland, don't know if it's still there called Kenny and Zukes who made the absolute best pastrami sandwiches I have ever had. The problem is every restaurant thinks their sandwich is worth $20 now and seldom makes the grade. Nov 12, 2024 9:53:31 GMT -5

rocknrob: So, to end my thread on sandwiches. If you find your sandwich worthy of that price by all means keep going to that restaurant (chewie)
