Randy's tutorial is better than the book. And easier too. Although the Macintosh book gives you other ideas and styles. I got the book first then used Randy's tutorial and everything came together after that. And then I got addicted and now I can't stop..

If you ever make it to Virginia Beach, I'll teach ya my style of wrapping. What got me started though was this book, " Contemporary Wire Wrapped Jewelry", it's the third on this site... www.silversupplies.com/catalog/books/wire_work.shtml

The reason they say 'Women and children first' is to test the strength of the life boat

Good luck and enjoy. Tammy

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)
