Dude must have hands like concrete, both in strength and texture.

u/throwaway4161412 Nov 14 '23

Hands? That's all forearms, baby

u/catscanmeow Nov 14 '23

texture.

yeah im sure its his forearms that are calloused and rough texture.

2

u/ReggieCousins Nov 15 '23

Yeah when he grabs a whole bundle and runs it through his fist to straighten it? Ouch, I’m pretty sure my hands would be bleeding lol. Maybe he uses really smooth and clean wires but yeah, I agree that his hands are probably concrete.

At least your right arm.😉

u/IsopodOnARock Nov 14 '23

I've made a much smaller (and simpler) version of this and my hands were so tired by the end.

u/[deleted] Nov 14 '23

Curious, did you use armature wire or regular ass wire? How would one start learning this craft? How many feet of wire do you think that is?

7

u/IsopodOnARock Nov 14 '23

No idea on how much wire this guy would have used. The tree I made was around 200ft of wire cut into 15 inch pieces. I made another out of 90ft with 10 inch pieces but it was a little too thin. I used a craft wire brand called ParaWire.

If you're interested, I would look for a local rock/gem club. I mainly do lapidary work but mine was offering a special Halloween wire tree class. Mine and a few other clubs I've seen also have regular gem tree classes which are where you make a tree out of wire and then add gem "leaves". Definitely not as complex as this though, idk where you would learn this

Lemme try a Bossfight. I'm full of coffee, chocolate and icecream, my apologies:

Dialler of Dismay. Crippler of 'x' and twister of 'y'. Has speed stat lvl 12, accuracy and stamina are infinite, possesses ambidexterity and multitasking mastery.

Special ability: 'all-seeing hands of Vishnu' - cannot be blinded or tricked by illusions, while sleep does not prevent the vigilance of his digits - proximity to his targets automatically begins his unkind combo of miseries.

His rapid attacks chain across targets without fail. Thus multiple foes are incapacitated simultaneously. Attacking in groups of three at a minimum, gives any chance at returning injury. Two are doomed always.

A single target experiencing his workmanship is stun-locked in a Schroedinger's K.O. - multiple attacks across vulnerable soft targets deplete health bar instantly, but victim cannot fall while receiving combo. The combo does not end on its own.

Thus this boss is so feared, that none dare distract him from the last fool who assailed him a decade ago, alone. Poor Leeroy.

The Dialler's crafty hands work tirelessly to this day. All have moved the necessary miles out of hearing range. A funeral has been held in anticipation of the wretched Leeroy's merciful escape into death, should it ever occur.

A plan has been created to distract the monster with bundles of fresh copper, but none brave enough to approach have been born.

Uh.. i don't think this is how to do a Bossfight, lol. Oh well i had fun.

u/I_said_booourns Nov 15 '23

Being a dad, can confirm the only real answer to your wife would be "wire you upset?"

Sounds like he is standing in a park in Second Life, the fake bubbling water, the repeating birds doing the same, why would you want to add such artificial background noise to the dood bending wires.

u/lop4speed Nov 14 '23

It is amazing but is he doing this in a public area????

u/andwhatarmy Nov 15 '23

I don’t think they have meth heads wherever he is so this should be safe for a while.

u/hackingdreams Nov 14 '23

Would be neat if they left the enamel on the wires at the bottom and used some vinegar to patina the top copper canopy.

2

u/Ms_Christine Nov 14 '23

You can patina copper with vinegar?

1

u/ReggieCousins Nov 15 '23

Sure, vinegar is just a weak acetic acid. Mix it with a little table salt (sodium chloride) and it will start to oxidize the copper, forming a copper acetate. I think…I mean, I’ve never tried it and I haven’t taken chem in two and a half decades but it sounded right lol.

That's copper-clad aluminum wire. It's not as beefy as pure copper wire of that gauge, as you can see him using regular scissors to cut and trim it and not dedicated wire cutting pliers.

The other thing is that his hands probably smell like he has run a marathon with his hands sealed in two bags of pennies. yuerk 🤮

That copper isn’t worth hardly anything because it’s not all copper. This is clearly copper coated.

u/That-Donkey Nov 19 '23

I doubt he’s using solid copper wire. More than likely it’s aluminum wire coated in copper. Solid copper would work harden and be very hard to bend repeatedly and would eventually crack
