Threading rod
#2
There is a site online, but I do not remember the link! They tell you how to soften the music wire and then how to harden it. I look a little harder, maybe someone out there will remember the site!!

Thanks. Yes I saw that on the Modelflyiing.com site. It references an article by Ray Vaillancourt on how to do that. It is probably a workable solution, but it is rather complicated and could result in brittle wire.
Someone on another thread suggested a welding supply store. I have been using 1/8 welding rod and cutting 6/32 threads in it, but I did not think to search for thicker rod. The 1/8 rod is available in most hardware stores, but I did not see thicker rod.

After cutting, it does not really need to be hardened for most apps, but if it is, it can be gradually tempered after the quench. A straw colour, or almost blue depending on how hard or tough you want it.
