It was recommended that I make something to show how much work it takes to make my little pendants. This isn't really a tutorial- just kind of show and tell, in action in the shop
 |
| Cutting pipe- about 30 turns goes through the copper pipe. |
 |
| Some etching went right, but it needs to show up more. |
 |
| Lined up, like ducks in a row! |
 |
| Polishing with the Foredom. |
 |
| 20 gauge wires, cut about 3 inches. |
 |
| This is my butane torch. Not my favorite, I prefer the oxygen, but it needs new lines. |
 |
| Making headpins. |
 |
| Painted with fire. |
 |
| Punching the hole for the bail. takes loads of hand strength. |
All of that work- and the copper pipe bezels are just about ready to fill. This was a longer show and tell then I expected! See the finished product here:
