My competition entry is this butterfly arm cuff. I'm very new to smithing and self learning via books & internet. This was quite a difficult project to tackle and took the best part of a week to finish. As the wire is quite thick, I had loads of problems getting the solder to flow. There basically wasn't enough heat from my little hand torch - problem was solved though by arranging the heat bricks into a little oven shape to reflect the heat back onto the peice making the solder flow beautifully. I hope one day to be as good as you guys on here =)
