16.After oxidizing the various pieces, use fine
steel wool to remove some of the darkened
area on the surface of the discs, the two
pieces of copper wire, and the coil beads,
leaving the circles and the lines where you
stamped dark. Rinse with water, dry, and rub
with a polishing cloth.
17.With two pair of chain nose pliers pointing
up, hold the jump ring with the opening at
the top. Roll one of your wrists away from
you and your other wrist toward you, open-
ing the jump ring only as much as necessary.
To close the jump ring, hold it the same way
and roll your wrists in the opposite direction.
Never pull the jump ring ends out; this will
weaken the metal, and it will be difficult to
close the jump ring.18.Using two pairs of chain nose pliers, open a
jump ring and attach the disc to one end of
the copper wire. Repeat this with the other
discs and pieces of copper wire. Add a jump
ring to the other end of each of the copper
wires.
