Thanks Philipp. :) I'm so glad I bought some lead wire for this work. It's nice and soft and easy to work with. Far better than the hard wire I've used in the past. ;)

Oh yes!
When I started using lead wire I was blown away... no memory whatsoever is such a great difference to the brass wire I used before :o :mrgreen: .
...maybe this only means that I have been an idiot for using brass wire...oh well...brass is "Messing" in German... 'nuff said :lol:.

I guess that makes two of us then Raoul :lol: I felt the same when I found out how much better lead wire is and no more cursing under my breath trying to get the shape just right :D
