very nice Scooch. I don't think I've ever seen a twisted lead wrap before, looks cool and very fitting with the tractor.

Instead of twisted lead, you should have used barbed wire. It looks great! It would sell well here.

Your tractor panel looks great! I'll agree with Rebecca, it might be interesting to work with, but there is an artist up here where I live that uses alot of barbed wire in her art, which makes it pretty unique.
Nicely done Scooch!

Love it Scooch, I have never seen the twisted came before either. Is it that simple to make? Is it just two pieced twisted together? How is it held in place? Can you explain how you made it? Love the look..... real rugged, real nice!

glassisfun,
The way I twist came is putting one end in a vice or something similar and the other end inserted in a drill (where a bit normally goes) turn the drill on slowly while having tension on the lead and it will twist from the drill rotation. You can twist tight or open, however you like.
To twist wire together I take one long piece of wire, fold it in half loosly, place the loop end in a cuphook I have screwed into a side of one of my tables (for this purpose). The other two ends you stick into the end of a drill (where a bit normally goes). Again as you turn it on, keep tension to the wire and the drill rotation naturally twists the wire together.
Both are easy peasy :)
Oh and both I just tack solder around the edge (in this case), the glass does still have to have foil around all sides so you have something to tack to.
