I love this tutorial. I'm recovering from a stroke and I've had to relearn even the most basic of things from all my years of jewelry making. I appreciate you so much for this tutorial and the way you explain each step is as though you did it especially for me. God bless you!
You are an inspiration, Leigh! I hope you're doing well and coming along with your jewelry making. ❤

Great video and instruction. Thank you!
@grandmarosex3 you can find the tools on our website. Lisa added the rhinestone herself to mark her tools so they would not get lost.
LOL I thought this had something to do with sound systems. I'm sorry I got it wrong but I like how you did all that. Good job.
Thanks!
Brilliant video, thank you. I'd like to make a larger 'open' wire spiral too (open enough to thread beads onto) - are there any videos to show this? Thank you

Thanks for posting. I notice that the closed spiral opens up when I hammer. Is there a way to keep the spiral tight after hammering? ... or would that be impossible?
+Skylightatdusk yes because hammering spreads the wire it is also spreading the tension on the wire and the spiral opens. I have never tried but I imagine you can attempt to come in and hold it with your pliers and try to curl it back in after a few strikes with the hammer....ya know, try to "keep up" with the spreading. Good luck :)
What's a good suppliers please. Great vids
trevor sweeney Hi, you can find supplies at Beaducation.com. Thanks!
Does anyone know if this is with dead soft or half hard?
This is dead soft wire :)
What size is 20 gauge in
Inches or cm please ?
I have included a link below to a chart that shows gauges is mm and inches.
www.beaducation.com/product_guides/8-all-about-metal-gauges
Kindly tell me the name of this wire
We used 20 gauge sterling dead soft wire.
I have more of a question that comment is there a tool that does this for you I need to make about a hundred and fifty flat coils. and that's just for one project that I'm working on
Wow, sounds like you have a cool project on your hands. No I don't know of any tool that can make a spiral...sorry :)
Beaducation thank you very much for responding so quickly it's a big project that has about 10 pieces to it. I'll post a picture of one eventually. they are starting to slowly but surely come together but I do appreciate the lesson that you taught it has made it just a little bit easier to figure out
Great! Can't wait to see it!
+J. Christopher Palumbo-Jensen great! Good luck!
Ugh I keep marring my spirals to death 💀
Hi Emily, No fun! Marring happens. Especially when we are holding the wire super tight OR the pliers have ridges on the jaws. Make sure your pliers are smooth!
Have you heard of Tool Magic, Emily?
