You'd think I'd learn by now, huh? MY pendant. Mine, mine, all mine! Hahhahahha! My challenge: I have a few ideas on the wrap, so it should be finished tomorrow if I don't get sucked into the grinder.

Dang! That's a great wrap! Lucky you Ronda ;D the challenge cab is fantastic, can't wait to see what you do with it.
Steve - What gage wire did you use on that? ....and here's a dumb question.. do you make the bends on or off the cab?

Awesome cab and wrap Steve. I'm enjoying seeing what you guys are doing. I just can't seem to get my hands around this wrapping thing.

Glad you like it! It was a fun challenge. Good luck with that cab Ronda. I had to make it a high dome so I wouldn't loose the pattern. I can't wait to see what it looks like wrapped. Dan, I used 22Ga wire. I don't know if I understand what you mean about the bends. I suppose I make all the bends with the cab in. I try to get the cab in right after the bail is done. I get the cab in a soon as I can. Then I make all the decorative bends after that. I made a tut but I forgot which RTHer I sent it to. Steve

You guys/gals do some incredible work. I sure wish I could get my gorilla digits to be that creative.

Steve, what a great wrap... it's just as crazy as the crazy lace and all the bends fit will with it and make it even more beautiful. I especially love the top corners, great idea. Everyone is really outdoing themselves. Great job on the wrap, and I can't wait to see the next wrap!! This is so exciting and suspensful!

LOL - it would be going faster if I hadn't misplaced my 22g square. New order arrives tomorrow though (hopefully), so unless I find the wire tonight, it won't be until then.

I have been soooooooo absent from this board, but I can see this getting closer and closer to me! Can't wait. But, Rhonda, take your time-I've actually got to order some wire too! AND take pictures......AND update my website.....ARRRRRRGh-too much WANNA do, not enough time to do anything but WANNA do it! I don't have a grinder, so trying to decide what I've shaped on the saw and tumbled will be good to send out. Actually have a some fun things!

The wrap is going out tomorrow. It's my fourth (and final) attempt at this cab - I never thought it would be this difficult!
