A man up by Provo Utah Uses a gearbox from an old semi-truck and a large electric motor. It has a tail stock about 30 feet away. He puts in a few 3" pipes, 4" angle Iron and a bunch of other stuff to make a round of about 1- foot diameter by thirty feet long. He twists this all cold and it ends up looking like an African vine. He twists up barb wire out of two 2" round bars with 1/2" by 2"x 12" barbs. I have a 2" square bar twisted cold just for fun that he gave me. He has a giant workable bear trap he hauls around to show on a semi-truck and trailer. I think his name is Delo Larson. He has passed away now but his work is still around.

Short but very good video. If you twist a single-angle iron by itself you have a center hole that works well for running wires up through like on a lamp or chandelier.

John Bennett Artist Blacksmith, no thank you. I've gotten several ideas from you such as the marble in the cheese slicer handle. I've been making some ornaments based on that idea using clear marbles.
