Thanks for the video! Your tool reminds me of what I have been working with some. A tire valve stem remover for automotive. One side is about 1/2 the other is 1/4. Makes coils and jump rings quick, imo. Cheers
This video is fine to show how you make the leaves from scrap wire, could u show me how you do this when its attached to one of your trees, just so I can see how you get in-between and around the bigger branches x
Interesting. What happens if you wait until the leaves are finished on the strand before "poofing" them up? I've made wire trees but never considered adding leaves. All of mine were dead of winter trees. ☃ Thanks for sharing your craft.
Thanks for sharing with us. After the sculptures are complete, what do you suggest for keeping the dust of the leaves? also the shine on the wire fades :-(
+MrRene1968 canned air like computer folks use works for dust, for most types of wire a weak solution of hydrochloric acid sprayed on and rinsed off promptly and well will bring shine back. The Tipper Tie brand Aluminum wire is the best wire I have found for keeping it's shine. Dawn dish soap and paint brush again rinsed off very well is good to do before the acid was if tree is very dirty like if it was outside and covered in spider webs. I had one of my Tipper Tie trees outside for a year, looked like the day I finished it after cleaning. Rinsing well is really important, do not let any soap or chemical dry on the tree.
Have you got a video on how you make the leaves once you've sectioned your branches off, ive seen a few on the roots bit not the branches with leaves x
+Natalie Purington Leaves are made from the top down and yes tree is spun and tilted to facilitate placing the leaf clusters to the branch. Hard to make a video of as it takes many hours. If someone would like to pay for the bandwith (data) I could live stream a whole tree. I will try to address your question in a future video, will be a long one though.
+Karleen Madison you are twisting a bit to far, if you twisted even farther you would make a circle with all the loops pointing inward. You will get it right with a little more practice I think.
wiretrees well, when I use long strings of wire, if I form them into a circle, which is only about 5 loops,thenI have a long remaining string of wire,which is why I keep making loops...x
Was going through comments looking for the same question you asked, to me that looks like a 14 gage wire, I am an electrician and can kind of relate to wire size
i understand but what about make it step by step. You know what i mean ;) THANKS A LOT and its fur real you are awsome!!! and a i want to do trees lie you PLEASE TEACH ME!!!!
I had a friend make me that bit, and what a time saver. Been making trees for only 7 yrs and your work is amazing
cheers to you and your friend...rock onwards
Thank you Kevin for the updated video on Leaf making... You make it look so simple!

Great video. Thank you for showing in detail howto make leaves.
Thank you for the great vid, i was wondering why my leaves always kept spiraling up, turns out i wasnt doing the under and over thing.
Very informative. Thank you for taking the time and effort to produce this.

There's really no best way. I tend to roll my leaves in groups rather than 1 at time. Its tedious no matter the method.
Wow, impressive video that is easy to see and understand. My hand does hurt after twisting one wire but looks great. Thank you 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

+phyllis prater This is the only way I have found to make leaves and not have the wire break before finishing the cluster.
I'll have to give it a try. Thank you for responding!
Your leaf making bit looks a lot like a spanner bit. You might be able to find one that works for you and save some time. Great tutorial and thanks.

+MrRene1968 Some formulations of aluminum are not worth cleaning as they will get that whiteish cast to them a few weeks later.
I spray with a clear coat when finished.
+Joshus Simpson I tried that many years ago, sun made it fail in some places after a few years.
finaly i found onne tutorial this thing yeahh!! tanks man!! ✌👍👍
Can I ask what tool you use for curveing the little rings... Thank you
Gizella Demjen it's just a regular screwdriver but he cut a notch out of the flathead bit.
Have you got a video on how you make the leaves once you've sectioned your branches off, ive seen a few on the roots bit not the branches with leaves x
+tillycharm I make all the leaves the same way. I will see if I can make a better video someday.
@@wiretrees yea , i will wait too.
You are amazing sir thanks for teaching how to twist it correctly
You are welcome Malik😊
Sheesh, this seems tedious! I might do that when i'll have time to sit in front of a tv series

Great channel!
I was finding this you are a god
Thanks for the smile Chamila😊
Very cool tool.
Thank you ... ur are amazing
hi, my loops turn out in a row rather than in a flower shape, what am I doing wrong?
+Karleen Madison you are twisting a bit to far, if you twisted even farther you would make a circle with all the loops pointing inward. You will get it right with a little more practice I think.

wish I could work with you face to face! The roots still "stump" me!!
Very good job
How much would you want to make me one of your two prog drill bits to make the leaves? deborahstevens00@yahoo.com
thank you for the video..!!!
Thank you I appreciate it man.
Leaves are made from extra wire from ends of branches, they are already attached Nohedens.
