To note
- Graver is width of the wire
- Punch is twice the width of the wire
- Grave here and here with the flat graver
- Connect points. Takes a couple passes to get to the depth you need.
- Take annealed copper wire. Make sure that the wire is half in the hole.
- Drag graver against the walls.
- With onglette make thorns in metal. Don’t be surprised if onglette breaks, it’s fragile
- Flatten wire ends with file
- Punch the wire in the channel. One spot at a time.
- Then go back and go over it with the pusher
- Sand
