Adjusting Wire Sculpture Figures

Video Transcript

"I'm Mark Kooy here with Expert Village and we are going to be talking about wire sculpture, braising techniques and tools. We are going to kind of just do a couple of little pieces to fill out the figure to give it kind of a more body structure. We are going to put in a little side piece for the torso. We'll just give him a little more depth to his figure or her figure; kind of an every man. We are going to use our vice grips to just clamp that piece to and it also helps hold everybody in place and then this one I can tweak over just a little bit to match up where I want it so we don't have a big piece sticking out. And the thing with wiring with all metals when you heat them up, they are going to flex. So you got to kind of make sure like that was kind of spring loaded and a spring loaded piece is probably going to when you heat it up, it is going to move. Then you have to stop and start over so you kind of want to make sure it is not a spring loaded. That is actually right where you want it. But they do need to touch otherwise it is hard to get the metal to fit. "
