For Me, the Best way to get your wire super straight (only works best for Round Wires) is if you put your round wires on a drill. And hold the other end tight with your pliers. And on a slow speed run the drill. You'll see it become Super Straight within seconds. 😊
@@dawn8542 what takes away from a the shine ? To use the drill technique? Most ppl polish they're peices after creating so it will need polishing regardless.
Love that you did this, Oxana ~ sq wire still intimidates me a bit. Let's say the sq itself had been twisted, does using only the cloth personally solve that for you? I always seem to need to use my pliers and risk making tool marks (hence my intimidation). I hope I made sense here!
You could secure one end in a vise and pull the other end with pliers. With smaller gauges use two pairs of pliers grab each end of the wire, and pull until you feel the the wire stretch just a bit.
This actually helps a lot! Thank you!

Bad thing about that is it takes away the shine.

Usually using clothes straightens it for me, but if it is super twisted maybe nylon pliers would be the next step
@@OxanaCrafts, you're the best, you know that?! Thank you so much, both for the info and for answering me in general (not everyone does that). ❤😊❤

Oxana, Where do you buy your copper wires?

Your wire always kooks straighter than I've ever gotten it except on the drill and then it takes away the shine and makes it too hard.
