A close-up of the failed piece. The copper is made with 7 petal and single knots out of 20 gauge wire. The brass is made with 3 petals and single knots as well but out of 24 gauge wire.
Left: A finished 24 gauge silver plated copper and brass piece next to a finished 18 gauge aluminum piece. Right: A 24 gauge silver plated copped and brass with seven petals and double knots.
A piece with two wires used simultaneously; 28 gauge copper and some kind of 28 gauge silver-looking metal alloy with 5 petals and single knots.
Left: The same piece as above. Right: The pull board, pliers, and the end of a petal after removal.
From left to right: A 5 petal single knotted piece, a 5 petal double knotted piece, and 3 petal double knotted piece. All of these had been done in 24 gauge brass wire and pulled through different sized holes in the pull board. The middle piece is the tightest and most dense.
