Description

This is were I make my wire. I put the drawplate in the vise. I anneal wire on the fire bricks with a propane torch. Pliers, Calipers and drawtongs, are for check/pulling the wire. Bucket of water is for quenching gold after annealing. It's close because annealing is easiest in the dark. My new ring wrapping setup is on the right of the bench. Note the braces on the bench, and if you look closely, you can see where the bench has entered the wall!
