Here is a tip for straightening and work hardening wires from - @sinead_cleary_jewelry - “I use this tip which I learned from Paulette Werger to straighten wire. Place wire between two bench blocks (helpful if you have a large one and a small one) with the smaller block ontop and then (easier with both hands but for video purposes) roll wire back and forth. I apply some pressure. Im using 18g dead soft sterling. I usually pickle my wire after because they tend to get a bit dirty with my old blocks.“ 🙌 Love this! Thank you so much for sharing!
