 sliver wire working knowing this is not a jewelry forum I thought I would ask anyway. I am trying to take a cool piece of damascus (1"x1"x1/6th) ad make a pendant out of it. anyway i think i have an idea i wanna try and what it entails is coiling a piece of silver real tight and pressing the center out like a cone....then the square edge of the steel will fit into it to cup it sort of....anyone have any ideas on how to get a symetrical coil to produce this effect..... any help would be appreciated  |

| You mean something like this,  except in silver? Ask ladysmith, she could probably help you.

| PM Ladysmith and ask her about it. I think she does some wire work. Nice lady, met her a little over a year ago. I haven't seen her on here for a while, but still worth a try. The forge name?......I needed something original to identify me. Heard my mom say the thing about playing with fire for years growing up. I have always been a firebug. Just seemed to fit. I even have a little sign above the doors to my shop. My wife just shook her head. Amazing how many people have never heard the saying. aaron c.

| Pete, I check in every once and a while. The cage is easy. Here is a tutorial I found on the internet...(wish I had found this one when I was figuring it out.)  I started adding a marble in the middle. They make great Christmas ornaments. Anyway here's the link: Cage Bead Tutorial Is that what you were looking for? Good luck, and I want to see picture of the end result. Pam
