I would like to add to my repertoire of pendants and make some bars/rods. I would like to make round ones as well as square. I have an ingot mould to make the bars and was thinking of buying a draw bench and various square and round drawplates. Would the resultant bars/rods be straight or would they require further work? Any tips on how I might make these otherwise? As a rough guide I would like them to be about 5mm in diameter and 18mm in length.

As always, thanks in advance!
