Aaaah, OK. Is it worth annealing it again? The kitchen torch works a treat, btw
The pliers is not an issue as I want to file bits off anyway to give a slightly organic look
And the rubber mallet has to be quite heavy, I'm guessing?
Not too heavy, I use a nylon hammer which isn't very heavy but does the job well, the key will be to strike it in the right place whilst keeping the wire from slipping around the mandrel. xx
