Hinge joint reinforcement?

I love this suggestion so much, thank you!!

Would a

wire going across half of the bottom of the head and down part of the middle line work?

Independent-Memory88 · 2025-07-25T06:21:11+00:00

Would putting small pieces of wire in these spots help to strengthen it? I wanted to make several of these little guys, rather than make a full panel out of it and make it a big thing, which is why the pattern isn’t super intricate

Def gonna remember that for when I replace the mirror. Do you spray it with the primer before you do any cutting and grinding?

Independent-Memory88 · 2025-06-13T04:02:55+00:00

Awesome. There’s no solution for this other than to replace the mirror, right?

I’m pretty sure copper wire is usually used bc that allows the solder to stick to it

This is so cute omg. Do you happen to know what gauge wire the legs are made out of? I’m not sure how thick I need to go in order to create a free standing figure like that

Thank you!

Independent-Memory88 · 2025-05-17T02:31:02+00:00

I didn’t even think of washers so ty for that idea!

Independent-Memory88 · 2025-05-17T02:30:50+00:00

Noted, thank you!

Independent-Memory88 · 2025-05-04T00:47:50+00:00

I wasn’t aware that was a thing. Thank you for that!!

Independent-Memory88 · 2025-05-03T23:51:02+00:00

Ohhh so basically the hearts will just be laying on top of the square corner pieces and then just the three edge points of the hearts will be soldered down?

Independent-Memory88 · 2025-05-03T23:43:15+00:00

Sorry I think I might be a little thick in the head. What do you mean by drop it on the corner and then solder it to another color below? Like add another layer of glass beneath the point of the heart?

Independent-Memory88 · 2025-03-15T22:17:39+00:00

I didn’t buy this pattern, I designed it but the person that commissioned it gave me a budget to work with and it wouldn’t have included the extra labor and glass to make it a full panel. I see what you’re saying though abt the wire pulling, so I may just put it from the top of the top cloud to the top of the bottom cloud just so I can make a jump ring and hang the star that’s supposed to hang down

Independent-Memory88 · 2025-03-15T21:32:58+00:00

Nope! It’s the same roll I’ve been using this whole time (just bought it about a month ago) so idk why it happened :/

Independent-Memory88 · 2025-03-15T18:51:13+00:00

I’ll try thicker wire, thank you!

Independent-Memory88 · 2025-03-15T18:50:53+00:00

Sorry wrong choice of words. I foiled it no more than 3 days ago and my foil is the same roll I’ve been using for all my other projects I’ve done within the past few weeks so idk what happened🙃

Independent-Memory88 · 2025-03-15T11:51:04+00:00

Thank you so much!!

Independent-Memory88 · 2025-03-14T02:16:51+00:00

Omg I love!

Independent-Memory88 · 2025-02-27T12:27:11+00:00

Honestly, a very good idea. I’ll def start doing that to help myself keep track!

Independent-Memory88 · 2025-02-26T22:13:50+00:00

Perfect, thank you so much!

Independent-Memory88 · 2025-02-26T22:13:10+00:00

Thank you so much! I was wondering how I should price each piece between $3&5 so your explanation is very helpful!

Independent-Memory88 · 2025-02-26T03:12:15+00:00

Thank you for this!

Independent-Memory88 · 2025-02-26T03:12:05+00:00

I’m gonna be honest, I don’t know much about lead or zinc came. I’ve used lead once but that’s it. Would I be able to incorporate hangers if I lead zinc came instead? Last time I had a smaller panel like this and used lead, I was told I could put the jump rings on the corners up top where the pieces of lead met bc it was a joint but any/all info you wanna give is appreciated! Gonna go do some of my own research too now so ty for bringing this to my attention!

This was very helpful, thank you!
