Great cab and wrap - two thumbs up However do you do that criss cross ? I think that is just the neatest thing.

I make and bind the bail and then I start at the top and bind the wire to the frame one wire at a time alternating sides. Does that help?

the trick to that style is to do the same for each set of 2 wires and to have your cross over point line up with the bail.
I also do the bail first and the wires in back from the bail I tie into the bent in side wires for more stability.

Thank you FrogandBearCreations and Amy for your comments

Superioragates,

I have admired your work for quite sometime now. I appreciate your comments. I struggle to make the nice flowing swirls and loops that you are so good at. I have read your tutorial and I have found for me that making the loops and swirls are much easier when you have 4 of 5 inches of silver to work with but much more difficult when I am only working with 2 or so inches of wire that is left at the top of my wrap.......I guess I will just go practice some more.

rocknrob: There was a shop in Portland, don't know if it's still there called Kenny and Zukes who made the absolute best pastrami sandwiches I have ever had. The problem is every restaurant thinks their sandwich is worth $20 now and seldom makes the grade. Nov 12, 2024 9:53:31 GMT -5

rocknrob: So, to end my thread on sandwiches. If you find your sandwich worthy of that price by all means keep going to that restaurant (chewie)
