Then, use a flat nose pliers and make a bend on the marking (fig. 8b, 8c).

After that, close the bent wire using a flat nose pliers where the flat surface meets the main frame (fig. 8f, 8g, 8h).

Step 9 of 13

At the back of your main frame, trim off the excess wire with a small wire cutter (fig. 9a, 9b, 9c).

Tighten the second frame connection using a flat nose pliers (fig. 9d).

Then, secure the connection with a ball peen hammer by hitting it with the flat side (fig. 9e, 9f).

Lastly, use a finest steel wire wool to polish the second frame piece (fig. 9g, 9h).

Step 10 of 13

Now, we will work on the third frame piece.

Take the remaining 12-gauge copper wire and trace the template design (fig. 10a, 10b, 10c).

Then, flatten the curly and ending part using a flat round face hammer on the base metal plate (fig. 10d, 10e, 10f).

Polish the frame surface with a finest steel wire wool (fig. 10g, 10h).
