Using a Protractor to Keep Wires Straight
by Abby Hook
Some tools you've had around for years can come in very handy for wirework. Rulers and protractors can help keep your wires straight as you weave.
Instructions
If you are forming as symmetrical frame as you work, make sure you adjust each side an equal amount, so that you retain the symmetry. You can check this by lining the central point of the pendant up with the cross hairs on the protractor and check the angles are the same on each frame wire against the central line
