I recently came across an amazing Vietnamese metalsmith who goes by @moonswamp on Tik-Tok.  (Tik-Tok is the short video clip social media site that is all the rage).

He makes wire wrapped carabiner clip style key chains.  Watch his short videos on how he makes his wonderful design.

These are embellished with wire coils and different beads.  I was also fascinated by his various tools.

This first one shows his general process. I love how he uses a small metal tube to help him bend wire.  Then there are the videos which shows his various custom made tools which he made by cutting, drilling and welding together regular tools!  I also like how he easily makes wire coils using a  drill and a metal rod with a hole.
