I like the bent wire support structure. Did you weave it yourself and did you find it growing naturally in the wild?

My son & I played with etching tonight. We used his controller from his train set. Lets us control the voltage a little. We just etched a nail as a test. It worked well.
Now what to do next

Ha! Yeah, I find all kinds of weird junk in the creekbed. It was in a good spot, so I just incorporated it.

So I went out and bought a small round file. Using the shallow jimping I made with electro etching, I deepened them with the file. And better still, I can now use the spine with my ferro rod.
