This is the best video on wire wrapping I have ever seen--by far! With his precise instructions, for the first time I think "I can do this!" Previously all my futile attempts ended in disasters. I will definitely be visiting his You Tube channel. You are the BEST!!!!!❤🎉
That's great to hear!
Thank you so much for your kind words. I feel that creating art shouldn't be so difficult that you don't enjoy it. Creating jewelry should be fun. I'm glad that the video helped.

Que nombre tiene en español el alicate con escalón gracias
Veamos si el traductor de Google puede corregir esto: pinzas para hacer envolturas
Hi Jim I tried to get some of those wire wrap maker pliers but don’t think JTV deliver to Uk 🇬🇧 any idea where I can get them from having difficulty finding any?
I'm not sure about the shipping o the UK. I'll see what I can do with JTV to get some to you.
Did you make the ring your wearing
Yes I did. I made that for my father many years ago and hen he passed I got it back. It's a fairly common ring. The design is called a Pharaoh's Ring or Common Ring. The internet is full of tutorials for this design. Thanks for watching
can you solder the ends ?
Hi! This is a dead soft, non-tarnish, plated wire, so unfortunately you will not be able to solder this particular type of wire. Hope this helps!
Why do people who are doing videos not add written instructions?
