[TheForge] firscreens

I've got a couple of requests for custom fire screens.  This will be my 
first time to make those.  I need some comments on how to attach the 
wire to the frame, and what kind of wire to use and where to get it. 

I assume, hat most custom ones are done by making a crease or fold in 
the metal, maybe 2 pieces and inserting the screen and then pressing 
them together to hold the wire??? Or maybe using tabs to hold the wire???

Will regular wire screen door/window screen work ok??? or do I need to 
get stainless screen mesh???  If so, where is it available from?

Thanks,
