I've used Randy'e tutorial many times, it's a good to start out with. I found wrapping to be quite addictive.

Great job!!

Gosh Thanks. But Randy my stone fell out. I need to adjust here and there I think. I hate the metal I got from Michael's. Something like plastic is pealing off of it. Does this happen with other wire? Should I get some steel wool?

The plastic coated wire from Micheals is a bit soft. www.brandywinejewelrysupply.com/categories/Wire/Brass-Wire/

You did a great job on that. Looks like you have the knack. For sure Randy's tutorial helps a lot and so does Marie's on swirls. Keep up the good work. I'm with Randy on getting some other wire. That soft craft wire just doesn't work well for the type of wrapping most of us on here do. You might want to post your wrap pictures on the wire wrapping section of the forum so they don't get overlooked by those wanting to see your work. Happy Wrapping.

Soon you will be turning them out in no time. The first 3-4 are the hardest....it does get easier. And then you will find a style of your own. Great first wrap. Ken

That's unbelievable, I have tried to wrap and it just looks sloppy, your's is great. I will leave wraps to you and my son Chris Perez and the others I admire so very much on this site. I will look forward to your wraps in the future.

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)
