Thickness. *sage nod* Too bad you can't find a mini blast furnace to warm up tougher metals to make them easier to forge.

Well, fun fact; my mother has a small torch she uses to make beads (she's the one who got me on the wirecraft kick; I've actually been reading about this sort of thing for a few months :3) but as much as I fucking LOVE fire, I'm afraid to mess with it. plus I don't know how this metal would react to the heat and then being hammered. it might lose some of its strength altogether, which isn't good; I like it as it is now :3

If you might have an inkling into what type of metal it could be, it IS magnetic and it's psychotically difficult to bend without using much force (i. e., I couldn't make ringlets out of it without machinery to wrap it on a small dowel/spool. it bends at very wide angles).

Heh, you're playing with spring steel. Seriously, that kind of alloy is meant to be heated to be formed. The fact that you hammered the crap out of it only ends up cold hardening it, if you hammer it too much when cold it may scale and snap apart now that it's got a shear face to it.

seriously? Hmmmm.....I'll keep this in mind if I fiddle with this wire again. I might not though; the gauge is psycho thick ( 14 I think D: ) so it's not exactly appropriate for smaller delicate stuff such as this (then again it's still fairly sturdy in it's current state but...eh *shrug*)

Wow, 14? That's some mighty thick stuff you're wrangling with right there. As far as your piece is concerned it has a LOT of flex before it will permanently deform. I'm willing to wager you could take it in your hands and bow it quite a bit without worry of it staying bent.

-20 points for failing to follow the thread.

If I could bend it, ya mean. This stuff as RESISTANT. I have to use pliers to adjust it in its current form D:

As the hip kids say. . .Daaayum!
