    Hmmm, I don't know about drawing wire with it the way that I can do
    for sterling or gold, but I certainly can extrude wire with it, fire
    it, and have my wire that way. It's just one more tool (material)
    that I have added to my metalsmithing. Not a replacement for my hard
    metal skills, just an augmentation to allow other designs to be made.
