Hello Everyone !! I’m pretty stoke about my first groove and wrap !!  Long ways to go to grooviness but I accomplished some good things in between Like got my grinding bits off the Gryphon without a seize problem whhhooo hhoooo and attached a grooving disc! It works really great and will be new style of zipping the grooves for the pre-drilled holes on the hearts! Have lots to learn. How to create a bale, depth of cut, wire types & especially precision grinding an oval its lopsided--- like me mostly  I can always take it a part & finesse grind  Hope you think its pretty groovy thanks for looking GrooveE  |

Very groovy, Ed! Exceptionally so! Once you've gotten fully into the groove, maybe you can help me groove too! LOL! Enjoy and it looks great!

Ed,
Nice stone & wrap. I'm still waiting for my Parawire order so I can perfect my technique, which needs a lot of work.

Looking good, Ed! Wire is going smoothly all around the cab, being hidden just enough to look good. Couldn't figure out how could you not use a coil wire at the bail and where are the ends of the wire, but then I figured out: the wires end at the top of the bail, which you twisted and then you masked with that jump ring or whatever it's called. Right? Adrian |

Hey Adrian
yep twisted as you say
then used a round piece of metal
as a mandrel
to make the loop then twist and cut-off
Then I used a-- what's called a lobster claw bale ---
it basically pinches on
lots of beaders use them pinch them into holes
anyway I use a bale to get the right orientation for hanging
