Well done Eric. Is that craft wire or Sterling? It's nickel wire, I didn't want to practice with copper or silver. Here are a few more:

Awesome bunch! I'd say you can move on to copper or silver at anytime |

Will have to pull out one of my diamond glass grinders. Where do I get the bit or diamond wheel. What size wire do you use.

20 gauge square and 20 gauge round to wrap it up, although I might try half-round for that part later
Have fun! |

Good job on the bails also. They are very nicely formed and I especially liked the #3 pendant.

Nice to see some groove wraps again. Beautifully done.
If you make the groove just a bit more shallow and then grind the excess of wire to flush the edge of the cab, they would look even better.
