Still not perfect, this is done in 21 gauge wire and I think next time I order I'm going back to 22 gauge. Thanks for looking!

I like it!
Did you do something different at the bottom?
I've been doing mine with 20 gauge. What is it about the thinner wire that you like?

Edit- I find thinner wire easier to work with most of the time. Personal preference I suppose.

Beautiful, Mike! I love it. 
Get yourself some rubberized abrasive wheels to use with your Dremel to get the nicks out. Like these. |

I can't believe I missed this post. It's a beauty. I find the thinner wire easier to work too although if I get 1/2 round I usually get one size bigger than the square because I think it looks better.
