    Been having a think about your comment George, and i think i will add a twisted link in between the two plain ones, i wont take any off, just add a third one so that it makes the design flow. Thank you.

    I wish I could cut out silver as good as you. I have been working with silver for 2 years but am rubbish with a piercing saw. That is really lovely work I cant wait 2 c it finished.

    Thank you very much, i can see a lot thats wrong with the sawing cos i expected them all to be exactly the same, but i guss that comes with expereience and as we do make these things "freehand" i spose they are all likely to be slightly different

    I'm amazed you made your own toggle as personally I baulked at the task but having seen the way your piece turned out I think I'm going to give it a go, well done

    the twisted wire is so easy- i cut a length of wire, folded it in half and then stuck the loos ends in a drill and my round pliers in the loopsed and and then turned it on and it whizzed it up in a second!

    What gauge wire did you use and do you find it's strong enough to avoid getting bent out of shape?

    its only 0.8 cos thats the thickest i have so far, but so far seems pretty strong. Think i will in future try it with 1mm hard

    If you're going to twist it, you don't need hard, it will harden nicely during the twisting process, and will twist better if it's not too hard to start with

    okies ty, i am a little sure now as to whether i can get a twisted link in between the plain ones as the links i soldered onto the ends of the teardrops and bows are so tiny, so if i cant i will have to have another rethink on how to add some more twists maybe around the doubles i dunno. just had a look at it and i might be able to squeeze them in but i will have to do it another time as next week i have to concentrate on an order of 20 candles for a bike club lol, so i will have to start work on all doing all the logos and colouring them up and making the wording transfers so that i can then get them ready for the BMF show in 19 Sept. My poor thumb will be so burnt lol but they will go a good way towards paying for my tumbler
