I just heated it up and coiled it using a carbon rod. Normally you would attach the end to the center of a pendant and coil it around the center to the size you want.
you looked dressed a little nicer in this video...did you have a little time to kill before a hot date??? ps: thanks for the tips!! i just bought a red max with mega minor on top..cant wait to get going in boro...been watching your point pulling/blowing videos! thanks again!!!
I'm just starting out and your videos are more than helpful my friend! Can I ask, are the terms zanfirico and lattichino interchangeable? Or is zanfirico a specific type of lattichino? The reason I ask is most times (not all, mind you, hence the confusion) I have seen the term zanfirico used, it seems to be several colors/dichro sandwiched between two pieces of clear and then pulled and twisted, resulting in a beautiful cane of multicolored spiral inside of clear. I was simply wondering if this is truly zanfirico or simply complicated lattichino. Keep up the good work! Tony.
Tony Cortese It's a difference of patterns, I think. Zanfirico is easier researched as cane, which is made by making a sandwich out of colors between the "bread" which is clear, then you switch the axis and pull it while twisting. You end up with a flat, twisted ribbon inside a clear rod.
nice stringer, and good video.-)
Wow.. I have been struggling so much with lattichino. I cant BELIEVE I never thought of that methood. thank you so much man. Helped me out so much.

No worries. Thanks!
