Working With Straight Brass Wire, January 2023 |
|
I include in my kits hard drawn brass wire, obtained direct from a UK company, because this produces beautifully straight handrails etc. The current batch of 0.7mm (I have 10Killos, about 6 years worth, so sorry we are stuck with it) may be found a little brittle for tight 90° bends such as handles & ends of brake van handrails. Anneal slightly (purple tint) in a candle flame and allow to cool naturally. Burnish wire bright before forming. There should be no issue with radiused bends such as boiler handrails but annealing is a useful technique to make many wire forming jobs easier. |
