Hi Oliver
There are a fair number of people working with metal here in northern California. I'm in Cloverdale but don't get much time to spend on the hobby. There's a lot of information in this forum. John

Color
Bill,
Try candy colors. They are translucent so that you can see through, and whatever pattern you make on the metal will show through. I think it's Duplicolor available through Summit Racing...

Welder
I wonder if modifying a HF stud welder (for pulling out dents) would yield the same result?
For doing the art project with lots of wires to weld, that's the only way to go.

Welder
In the video http://vimeo.com/38348447 you use a pair of needle nose pliers to weld wires together. I'm supposing that the wire that's hooked to them goes to a spot welder? Neat set up.
