They aren't much to look at, but I thought it was good for a laugh.

I'd wear either one. I especially like the one on the right. Nate

Imagine what you could do with better wire. BTW, I've seen your hands and only saw one thumb on each one...

They look pretty secure in there & it sort of gives me an idea on how to handle several tumbled stones I have!

Haha! Now your hooked. You may have started out with electrical wire and cutters you had on hand but ........... Welcome to the world of wire wrapping. I love your firsts and I'm serious. Brent I started out the same way only with regular scissors for clippers and my firsts were much like this only your bails are so much better than mine were.

WTG!

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)
