Another day, another window.<\/p>\n

In addition to the silver tubing, Friday’s mail brought the wire jig. For the uninitiated, a wire jig is basically a base with lots of holes in it and a set of removeable posts (of various thicknesses) around which you can bend wire. I knew that with a lot of the stuff coming up, having a way to replicate the same curves multiple times would be invaluable.<\/p>\n

So, for window four, I decided to try things out in copper (which is the cheapest of the pure metals I have access to). I had revised the design of this one from nine little parts, to four (compare the design pic in the first post to that below) mostly because it seemed too busy compared with the other windows but I also realised with the weight\/thickness of the wire I was using, it was going to\u00a0 be both very hard to make and look too filled in.<\/p>\n

So, first attempts with copper seemed quite good.<\/p>\n

I also needed to work out if the whole thing would fit together and fill the frame, so I made most of the parts in the copper to test if I had the curvy bits the right size before I cut them in silver.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

All looked good, so I cut and prepared the silver components.<\/p>\n

Soldering was fiddly to line up the inner portion, but went according to plan.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

After adding the outer curves, the last touch on this one was to bind the major joints with 0.3mm wire.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Really quite happy with this one.<\/p>\n
