If you have a vertical band saw or a lot of patience with a hack saw precut
using 1/4 or 3/8 square stock.  I have the dimensions written somewhere or
it is on one of the UMBA tapes for the length of stock and cuts.  Then at
the demo stick the stock in the forge pull it out and almost magically it
becomes a cross with only two quick bends.  The turtle man had examples of
them at Lacrosse.
I think they brought $40 at the auction.  In less economically challenged
areas you can punch a hole add a round link which attaches them to a premade
leather necklace for up to $40 before they cool according to the tape.
Notice the repeated commercials for the UMBA library at www.umbaonline.org
