    Hello All, I have been inspired by some Viking jewelry as of late and
    have been trying to figure out how to do a simple twisted wire
    bracelet in sterling. You've all seen them done with a twist of fine
    (maybe 20 ga.) and a piece of larger gauge. I can't seem to get it
    to lay  right. I've tried chucking both pieces in a drill like I
    twist two same size wires with success, putting in a vice and trying
    to hand twist. I even tried soldering the two pieces together first
    to keep them from slipping. With none of these techniques have I
    gotten satisfactory results. Any suggetions out there by people who
    have done this successfully. 

Thanks in advance,
Chris
