Good day,
Recently I read a post which mentioned that it might be fun to attend a wire wrapping class, and be taught how to perform a basic, simple, wire wrap.
Well, I thought to myself, why not put a video series together (6 videos, 1 hour total long) to demonstrate what I recently learned.
Anyone could learn to wrap, without leaving their home. You could fast forward, rewind, pause, or rewatch any part of the tutorial at your own leisure. And it would be like you were there, next to me looking over my shoulder the whole time.
Well, this is it... Well, my effort of "it" at least. 
Section 1 - Intro and Tools needed
Section 2 - Materials and Set Up
Section 3a - (video 1 of 2) - Creating the Framework
Section 3b - (video 2 of 2) - Creating the Framework
Section 4 - Forming the Bail
Section 5 - Accents, Final wraps, and Outro
Notes:
As many of you already know, I am a beginner. And there are all kinds of things that would probably make an expert cringe in the videos. Sorry. I am trying my best.
But a final result is created. I will post a picture of this result as soon as I have taken one.
( picture goes here )
This was an effort over a full day. 3 hours to shoot, and 8 hours to edit, along with 4 hours to post. I am not a Youtube professional so I did my best.
There is about 1 hour of total tutorial here. I edited it down from 3 hours. It can be viewed at leisure, and I am positive that if you follow the steps here, that you will have a finished product that you are proud of!
Warning: Filming this was not comfortable, and I had to stretch my arms out in front of a camera for many hours. There are some short sections out of frame. I was so tired from this effort, at hour 2 and past, this occurred a few times. Plus, I am working with 18 gauge, half-hard wire, so it can easily be seen. As you know, it is hard to bend. Thank you for your patience.
All positive comments, suggestions, critiques, and information offered up in comments below are gladly accepted. I am a student of all things in life, and always happy to learn any tidbit of information which will help me grow in knowledge. Thank you!
Thank you for stopping by! Enjoy!
-Bill

I think what you have put together here is great........It's obvious your'e no stranger to preparing and giving presentations. More than likely due to your previous and/or current professional endeavors. Thank you for sharing your time, effort, knowledge and wisdom.....!........as quoted by many of a few wise men......"In vain have you acquired Knowledge, if you have not imparted it to others".......!
As I have have acknowledged previously, I enjoy your method of "educating".......!
Outside of the low volume I experienced with the video's.......there's very little here to "critically" explore......!
Thanks again Bill.......!

NevadaBill you're a natural for doing videos! Just like you're talking to someone and not a camera. Very nice videos, too. Only thing was the low volume.

I appreciate the positive comments.
My thoughts are that if just one person can learn just a little something from one of my fumbling efforts here, then I am happy to have put forth the effort.
Thank you again!

I might go back and edit the original high definition videos at some point to fix any volume issues I find.
I appreciate it! |

Ok, I finally finished them all. I didn't want to post anything till I actually watched them all.
I think you are a natural as far as videos go. You were really relaxed and engaging. Volume was an issue, but you know that.
I'm a little surprised to see you do this since you are so new, but you did a great job! I'm sure it will help a lot of newbies to see another relatively new guy do a wrap. You made it look pretty easy and gave a lot of info. There are so many ways to wrap, so I won't comment on how you did anything. Everybody has their own ways. I didn't see anything that made me want to yell at the monitor. LOL! Seriously, A fine effort. Congrats! |
