Your jewelry is lovely. Love your tutorials in the way you are precise, you explain each step and dont rush through. Also is very easy to view... oh! plus thanks for not having distracting music!
how to do you get your wire so straight and keep em that way? i have two pairs of nylon jaw pliers and my wire never seems to be as straight as I want it lol
First use half hard wires for the straight ones. Using dead soft wire it's like trying to get an overcooked spaghetti straight. A soft wire will deform under the slightest solicitation. Straighten your wires between your fingers using a small piece of cloth or soft leather, that save the fingers and gets better results. I use also a softwood or nylon plank with holes of the good size, as pulling straight through the hole the wire is smoothly straightened in line. The hardest part is to find the drill bits and not to break them...It's worth the effort to make a nylon plank if you straighten like me lots of wires. Nylon jaws are good to fix a kink, not so much for straightening "long" wires as you induce a lateral stress. Last but not the least, look at the video. The wires are like a hand fan, opening to the exterior, so when you weave the wires together, you pull them to the center. The small residual tension will keep the wires straight. Look also how our amiable instructor weaves guiding the 0.4 mm wire around the 1mm wires, there is very little tightening. Have a nice day.
I have this video that might be helpful for straightening your wire ruclips.net/video/p_8h2gOt4zM/видео.html, but it's also a matter of practice I would say. Over time you become more used to how to work with the wire and have you control the wire, not the wire control you :-)
CSLdesigns You are right; practice. It's the key for a nice work. Many thanks for your high quality videos. You are an excellent instructor, it's impossible to make a mistake while following your explanations as there are not missing or equivocal steps. I'll add that your designs are astoundingly beautiful, very elegant and classy.
