I had to give this a try. It sure took me a heck of a lot less time to do a wrap this way!! Not to mention less silver. I love this technique. Thank you Adrian!

A little more dialing in and I will be off and running

Very nice pendant!

Thank you for crediting me, Christopher with thys groove wrap system. But I think I only "re-invented the wheel" here on the board, while the method is known since long ago. At the time I imagined the method I had no idea if it already existed, but I always supposed it did.
I'm sure someone posted here a while ago a picture with an old groove wrapped cab.

I wander why isn't it used more often. As you said, it has a lot of advantages and besides it doesn't hide the stone at all.

Rocks choose their owners, but they allow us the joy of believing to the contrary.

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)
