I'm real happy about the flow of the solder now. Prior to "tinning", the solder would just ball up and fall off. The hook vice is awesome for spinning and soldering. Really fun.
I got 20 gauge copper today... but need thinner wire but not too thin. I'm rolling "too thin" strands of wire here.
The silver wire in between the copper is "nichrome" wire. It has high resistance and heats up really hot before melting so is a good "igniter wire"... like a filament in a bulb
