Hi Joe, thanks for posting this video. Quick question... do you know about how much it should cost to have a stone or coin wire wrapped (material costs excluded)?

[joefileman]

@ElaineInBliss I don't have a standard estimate on what it would cost to wire wrap a stone or coin. I developed an understanding that the size and shape of the object plays a part in the cost as well as the technique. I had a fairly standard shaped rough emerald stone wrapped some years ago (on or before 2005) for about $35 and that was a great deal.

what gage of wire did you use for the binding?

[joefileman]

I forgot, looked at the spool and it wasn't written but I tried to measure it and it looks like 22 gauge which sounds about right.

Oh forgot to ask How do you loop the top part I guess I missed it but that is actually a harder thing for me.

Hello, thank you for this tutorial ... What type of wire used is silver or what the specific name?. Congratulations for the good humor you have. Hugs from Bogota, Colombia.

I really liked this video except for one thing, you didnt show how to create the bale at the top. That was the instruction I was most interested in seeing. If you can suggest a tutorial on that part I would be most interested. Thank you

First time I ever tried this, but it helped a lot more than the pictorial tutorials I've looked at. How do you keep the pendant from turning into a barbed pendant? I can't cut the ends of the bindings close enough.

This is BY FAR the WORST tutorial EVER. What the heck man? How about showing each step as you go, telling how long the wire should be, how to actually wrap the wire, trouble shooting, etc. I saw someone posted that this video was the most informative out of all your others! Well they saved me the time of actually watching your other videos. You are a terrible teacher and I'm glad I didn't pay money for a "so called wire wrapping tutorial" such as this (your own words). Jeeze.
