wood turning - I should have done this a long time ago

It's about time, RIGHT! I've been putting this off but I finally did it.
I use used a small piece of cherry branch for this project. The wood was wet from sitting in the rain so I had to turn to the shape I want then let it sit for a couple days. After that I sanded and finished it. I made them round to get a good grip. they are handles for wire burning.

[@RcWoodturning]

Thanks!
It's nice to have a handle on things.

[@Woodturning-woods-for-soul]

Hello. And I keep trying to hold the wire with pliers and have never even thought about making a separate device. Comfortable! Thanks for the idea! 👏

[@RcWoodturning]

Thanks. I kept putting it off but finally did it.

[@DougMilleratWoodSpunRound]

Well done.

[@RcWoodturning]

Thanks!

[@patbeatty7116]

About time you made it.

[@RcWoodturning]

I KNOW! RIGHT?

[@AllenOxendine]

Ok, wasn’t sure what your were making but nice work. Full View and Like 👍

[@RcWoodturning]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@user-kf5of8pq9p]

That'll be easier, thought you just didn't want one. Thanks Rus, just love watching you turn. By the way, what angle is your gouge ground to. Love the concert....Dan

[@RcWoodturning]

Thanks Dan!
Just kept putting it off.
My gouge is right around 45 degrees.

[@bretteee]

Or you do the same thing with 2 bits of scrap Dowl with copper wire.

[@RcWoodturning]

That works too. 👍

[@Richard-ky9lf]

Do you use a variable speed lathe? Thanks

[@RcWoodturning]

My yellow lathe is variable speed. The one in this video you have to change the belt to change the speed.

[@Halscamp]

what type of wire do you use. I have normal wire and it seems to take too long to heat up enough to burn.

[@RcWoodturning]

I use bailing wire and also left over wire from my mig welder.
The wire heats up faster at higher rpms. Also wrap the wire a little more around the wood. The more surface area the more it heats up.
Hope that helps.

[@markb8954]

You are probably not running fast enough. It’s always best to use ur skewer & make a slight indentation where your wire will ride on. Use thinner gauge wire.

[@BenNawrath]

Came here to ask this lol. I made one from a guitar string and it takes a while. I’ll bump it up a couple pulleys next time.
