I feel obligated to call out the dangers of burning finish off of nails, pipe etc.  Metal fume fever (one of its may names) is extremely dangerous.  I had a blacksmithing acqaintence die from exposure, and he knew better.  Here's a wikilink

Dennis I hope this link is ok, I thought a safety reminder was important

I have made some out of heavy wire by bending around a bolt for the curve and then then heating and bending the straight portion until they fit properly. In deference to the above answer from brokenflint, do this in a well ventilated area if using plated or galvanized.
