well my initial reaction is that they are very different than what I've seen, and that the craftsmanship seems really good!

The wire seems to not be marred, the coiling of the half-round seems great. The combinations of wire (copper/gold/silver) are interesting.

I think you're on to something! Keep up the good work!

Nice work! Nate

Tammy, I have been doing this about 3 months, I think I did one other before that and put it down for awhile. Now that it's cold I'm getting more time in the shop cutting and working on my wrapping while waiting....Coldwatergold

I think the first one is pretty cool.

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)
