    Hi - Just wanted to add something to John's reply. When soldering
    the wire forms on, (if you have a rolling mill) roll the wire forms
    slightly to flatten them. Then sweat solder them onto the flat sheet
    metal. It looks a bit neater and makes the soldering easier. Once I
    do this, I hammer them in with a planishing hammer, and after
    annealing, roll it through the rolling mill a couple of times to make
    it flush. It comes out quite nicely without much distortion. Good
    luck - Sarah
