It's so easy to transform ordinary wire into a design element that will lend beauty and elegance to your jewelry designs. All you need are a few tools and a little inspiration.
In this video, Professor John Ahr of the Online Jewelry Academy teaches you how to make a beautiful mono-twisted wire. Using just a bench vise, draw tongs, a file, and a draw plate, Prof. Ahr transforms an simple piece of square wire into a round profile wire that mimics the appearance of a twisted cable.
