For the pasta machine you will need one with 8 levels like this: amzn.to/3i555GL Mine is the Atlas 150mm Deluxe Stainless Steel model but any brand should work. You can also use a polymer clay press: amzn.to/3rIy7z6 Amazon affiliate links. Your purchase help supports my channel.
Hi,loved this idea , do not have anything to press, wanted to buy the clay press since it’s smaller than the.pasta machine , so I guess I won’t purchase a hammer ,,is there a difference between the two ?
The pasta maker a great idea. I never knew that this is the correct way to make spirals. I have always struggled making spirals by hand to get them to come out looking perfectly. This is going to change the game. LOL.
Making spirals on a cone is my preferred method, especially if your wire tends to kink.
Absolutely love this idea. Thank you for sharing. I have to try this .
You are very welcome. Have fun with it.
Thanks a lot for this. Was having a real problem finding small flat wire for cloisonne art and this fixes that problem beautifully.
So happy it was helpful. I'd love to see a pic of our cloisonne art if you'd like to send a pic to info@heatherboywire.com Thank you.
I bought a pasta maker then went keto diet. Now its sitting unused. Such a clever and cheap DIY rolling mill! Thanks Heather! Nice to find a use for it.
You are very welcome. Have fun with it!
What a fantastic idea 💯👍
Thank you Simon.
Sorry I keep missing you honey.. I was taking my granddaughter to school. Thank you for the tips! Love your videos! Hugs and blessings, G’ma ❤️🙏🌀✨🤗
Thanks so much! I'll be going live on Wednesday at 1pm EST if you are available!
Much better time for the west coast! Thank you! I’ll be there!
Hugs and blessings, G’ma ❤️🙏🌀✨🤗
Very cool Heather. Thank you. I don't have a pasta maker either but can hammer it I think...gently. Would you suggest laying a cloth over it or something along that line to avoid hammer marks? I do kind of like the way hammer marks look. Give an antique look to it. Thank you again
Twice at each gauge works better.
Don’t have a pasta maker.. guess I could try running over it with my wheelchair! 😂 hummm..🤔 that might look pretty cool! 😃😂
That might work! You can also try a clay press like this. www.amazon.com/Darice-Studio-Polymer-Clay-Press/dp/B0018N9HIO/ref=sr_1_2
Mizpike Where there's a will, there's a way!
Heather Boyd Wire How about just using a hammer with a silicone or rubber end?
Rawhide mallet, etc etc?
@@contactjoy4140 Yes, lot of people hammer, but I don't like the vibration on my hand. I also love the uniformity of the rolling mill!
What inexpensive way can I flatten stainless steel wire and copper....without a hammer?
Steel might be a bit hard for the pasta makers, but copper should work.
Very cool!! Instead of using aluminum wire, can you use a thicker gauge of copper wire in the pasta machine? Or would you not recommend it? I have a used pasta machine that I use for polymer clay. TIA 😊
Hi Kelly: That would probably work. If you start on a wider setting and works your way down slowly you will see how much the machine can tolerate. Good luck!
@@HeatherBoydWireinterested in getting this but need to know 😊😊 what is the thickest copper wire you can put in the sculpty parta machine for copper?? Thx
Some people hammer it but that's never worked for me. I'm trying this ideal.
Awesome Debbie: As long as your wire isn't too hard it should work!
what is MAX thickest you can insert into the maker? what gauge or mm in thickness will it accept without breaking the machine? I thought i had asked this question months ago without an answer but I scroll and I don't see my comment..🤷🤷🤷
deleted?
I've only used up to 16 g. You may be able to use thicker if it's Aluminum Start at a wider setting and work it down to a thinner setting gradually. Good luck.
@@HeatherBoydWire thx so much👍👍👍😀😀
Will this scratch or damage the pasta rollers? Making it bad for polymer clay.
Hi Dorothy: It may scratch the rollers so I wouldn't use it for both to be safe.
This is a wonderful idea! However my daughter would kill me, she uses the pasta maker to make PASTA!
Understood. You can always buys a cheapo one at a bazaar or garage sale!
What is the exact pasta maker in this video though?there's so many on amazon
This isn't the exact machine but you need one with 8 levels like this: amzn.to/3i555GL
You can probably get at Walmart or a hardware store. Mine is the Atlas 150mm Deluxe Stainless Steel model. You can also use a polymer clay press: amzn.to/3rIy7z6 Good luck.
What gauge is the wire?
You can use 16g copper or 1.5mm aluminum
Ma'am which wire is tarnish free can you suggest me for my cutlery work?
Aluminum wire. Cooper wire and brass wire
Which is tarnish free?
@@AliyasEmbellishments100 Artistic wire makes a tarnish free copper wire that has a protective coating. I'm not sure it would be dishwasher safe though. I think your best best for cutlery would be Argentium or sterling silver wire which is more pure. You can buy dead soft silver for wrapping in 20 gauge. I buy my wire like this on Etsy. Good luck!
OK ma'am. Thank you very much for your kind response
Won't it destroy the pasta maker? I'm afraid to disform my pasta maker.
I bought a 2nd hand pasta maker at a local shop. I wouldn't use your good pasta maker.
