I am not too crazy about wire wrapping other than groove wraps. After seeing its' tut on the easy wrap I had to try it. No doubt about it the wrap is easy but I should have done my bail differently. When I do another (I liked doing it) I will make the bail the normal way and wrap it with the smaller wire. This first learning wrap took me 25 to 30 minutes (I did not clock it) and I think that with some practice I can get it down to 10 to 15 minutes with a small cab.

Thanks its.
Jim

thanks for the props Jim
that turned out great and I don't have to say " for your first one" either. I really am going to have to get some silver and gold wire to go with the copper. Is that stone some kind of coral? As a whole it turned out great. Would you mind dumping a picture with a quick comment in the laceedge thread? One of the ladies was asking how secure the stone feels and I said it was just a matter of tightening up the frame wire to where you want it when you make the bail and the loops on the edge are adjustable; how did it turn out for you?
I can't see who made the comment in here but it's a HE ;D ;D Ahh, Kristy ;D ;D

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)
