[@MaidenOne]

Thank you Kevin for the updated video on Leaf making... You make it look so simple!

[@jeffderosier6284]

Thanks for the video! Your tool reminds me of what I have been working with some. A tire valve stem remover for automotive. One side is about 1/2 the other is 1/4. Makes coils and jump rings quick, imo. Cheers

[@RADCreativeArt]

I had a friend make me that bit, and what a time saver. Been making trees for only 7 yrs and your work is amazing

[@wiretrees]

cheers to you and your friend...rock onwards

[@302big5]

Thank you I appreciate it man.

[@sddphotography]

Your leaf making bit looks a lot like a spanner bit. You might be able to find one that works for you and save some time. Great tutorial and thanks.

[@JunktoFunProjects]

Very cool tool.

[@magedghoche9840]

Thank you ... ur are amazing

[@tillycharm]

This video is fine to show how you make the leaves from scrap wire, could u show me how you do this when its attached to one of your trees, just so I can see how you get in-between and around the bigger branches x

[@athanasioskotsonis0532]

[@joshuasimpson2733]

There's really no best way. I tend to roll my leaves in groups rather than 1 at time. Its tedious no matter the method.

[@casabelaarvore]

Lindo demais 👏👏👏👏

[@alfredzianini9217]

Sheesh, this seems tedious! I might do that when i'll have time to sit in front of a tv series

[@TheFishingExperience916]

Thank you sr thank you so very much 🤩

[@mounirkamiche5409]

Very good job

[@deborahwigginsstevens2003]

How much would you want to make me one of your two prog drill bits to make the leaves? [e-mail]

[@chamilaabeyrathna2554]

I was finding this you are a god

[@wiretrees]

Thanks for the smile Chamila😊

[@vladmarinablue]

so how you finish that ? do you have next video ?

[@angtranhai6457]

Thanks :D

[@gustavoadolforubimontes3740]

gracias

[@rostom.padilliatrs1506]

thanks bro👍😎

[@tillycharm]

Have you got a video on how you make the leaves once you've sectioned your branches off, ive seen a few on the roots bit not the branches with leaves x

[@wiretrees]

+tillycharm I make all the leaves the same way. I will see if I can make a better video someday.

[@kirznervadim7072]

@@wiretrees yea , i will wait too.

[@keeganob126]

Interesting. What happens if you wait until the leaves are finished on the strand before "poofing" them up? I've made wire trees but never considered adding leaves. All of mine were dead of winter trees. ☃ Thanks for sharing your craft.

[@wiretrees]

+phyllis prater This is the only way I have found to make leaves and not have the wire break before finishing the cluster.

[@keeganob126]

I'll have to give it a try. Thank you for responding!

[@MrRene1968]

Thanks for sharing with us. After the sculptures are complete, what do you suggest for keeping the dust of the leaves? also the shine on the wire fades :-(

[@wiretrees]

+MrRene1968 canned air like computer folks use works for dust, for most types of wire a weak solution of hydrochloric acid sprayed on and rinsed off promptly and well will bring shine back. The Tipper Tie brand Aluminum wire is the best wire I have found for keeping it's shine. Dawn dish soap and paint brush again rinsed off very well is good to do before the acid was if tree is very dirty like if it was outside and covered in spider webs. I had one of my Tipper Tie trees outside for a year, looked like the day I finished it after cleaning. Rinsing well is really important, do not let any soap or chemical dry on the tree.

[@wiretrees]

+MrRene1968 Some formulations of aluminum are not worth cleaning as they will get that whiteish cast to them a few weeks later.

[@joshuasimpson2733]

I spray with a clear coat when finished.

[@wiretrees]

+Joshus Simpson I tried that many years ago, sun made it fail in some places after a few years.

[@SecondComingTwice]

Gratitude.

[@wiretrees]

Welcome.

[@gizellademjen2466]

Can I ask what tool you use for curveing the little rings... Thank you

[@dartgunguy251]

Gizella Demjen it's just a regular screwdriver but he cut a notch out of the flathead bit.

[@alyzonflor153]

Cómo se hace esa herramienta

[@wiretrees]

Leaves are made from extra wire from ends of branches, they are already attached Nohedens.

[@hamzaramzan1082]

wiretrees

[@nataliepurington3750]

Do you have a video of making leaves on the tree. Would like to see how you navigate as leaves made, ? spinning tree

[@wiretrees]

+Natalie Purington Leaves are made from the top down and yes tree is spun and tilted to facilitate placing the leaf clusters to the branch. Hard to make a video of as it takes many hours. If someone would like to pay for the bandwith (data) I could live stream a whole tree. I will try to address your question in a future video, will be a long one though.

[@karenfavreau6268]

hi, my loops turn out in a row rather than in a flower shape, what am I doing wrong?

[@wiretrees]

+Karleen Madison you are twisting a bit to far, if you twisted even farther you would make a circle with all the loops pointing inward. You will get it right with a little more practice I think.

[@karenfavreau6268]

wiretrees well, when I use long strings of wire, if I form them into a circle, which is only about 5 loops,thenI have a long remaining string of wire,which is why I keep making loops...x

[@karenfavreau6268]

wish I could work with you face to face! The roots still "stump" me!!

[@t.versteeg3723]

Chrome Vandium? It's Chrome Vanadium Steel, an extra strength steel.

[@wiretrees]

+T. Versteeg Thanks for the correction

[@dkurush1]

what gauge is this wire ?

[@wiretrees]

1.6mm diameter

[@tundraman751]

what gauge wire?

[@KINGABSOLUT]

tundraman751 con un 20/21 te quedan muy bien yo estoy usando el 21 y es buen calibre, estoy por conseguir en material aluminio de calibre 20 o 21..

[@luisochoa397]

Was going through comments looking for the same question you asked, to me that looks like a 14 gage wire, I am an electrician and can kind of relate to wire size

[@felipeculebro4817]

[@wiretrees]

Felipe Culebro

[@wiretrees]
