Thanks Tubs for your reply. It looks like were onto something with the iron wire……….I wonder what the effect would be using thin over thick wire? I have just been talking to a friend of mine and he suggested waxing the the wire to stop it rusting.

After doing a bit more investigating, it would appear that it’s important to not have the iron core in on piece, as this avoids what’s called “eddying,” so wire sounds the way to go.  I will get some builders iron ties and see what happens.

Thanks again.
