    Love the honesty. Trying to wire wrap myself…when you had the beard on, it would have been hilarious if you would have said, “What.. have you not seen an asian who knows how to wire wrap?…are you racist?” take it easy!

    You’re a nut! I love you! Make more videos. This one helped me to understand the fundamentals, but left out some steps. Hey, Spielberg didn’t get right the first couple times out of the shoot either!

    It’s been a while and fact is I don’t have the piece anymore. If I remember right I may have used dead soft wire with half hard binding.

    BTW, if you are looking for a community I setup wire_wrapping on LiveJournal, haven’t been on there in a long time but there are some people there whom I remember were very cool and helpful.

    Thanks for stopping by. Both half hard and dead soft are okay. I haven’t heard of anyone using harder than half hard. I prefer half hard when there’s a lot of ornamentation i.e. vines and twirls that need to be sturdy. Dead soft is good if you want a simple design that hugs the stone more. Both can snap though but that is the nature of the craft. It takes some practice to use just the right pressure when bending wire.

    Anyone whos doing this are you using Half Hard wire or Dead soft ?? reason Im asking is because I started a project on sat using Half Hard .. I was almost done with the setting ,, but when I tried to seperate the wires and bend up (im a dummy) I bent in the wrong directon and snapped the wire !! also ,, do you do the same in the back as in the front to hold the stone in place ?? help ?? newbie,, there should be a site just for this !!

    What a great training! I was able to create my first wire-wrapped pendant after viewing this. Of course, mt first attempt was pretty pathetic, but I have the basics now and the final product is going to be amazing.

    Thank you again for the training and the humor!

    Thank you for being kind enough to actually show the process of wire wrapping. So many videos on here are just a tease to some sort of instructional video to purchase. I no have money.. jeesh. LOL Anyways thanks! Now if I can only figure out how to do this with a stone that is not “flat!” but more random and roundish… sort of.
