This video holds up still in 2021, funny and has all the information you actually want. Straight to the point and everything, quite beautiful (:

Probably the most comprehensive meanings on wire that I’ve seen so far. And thank you for using copper so that it could be seen easily. ❤️

Amazing vid! I'm 15 years old and I'm just learning how to wire weave. Thanks for teaching me☺

Thank You for sharing your knowledge! Very Helpful, especially showing samples!

Wow. This answered every question I could possibly ask about wire. Thank you!

Thank you soooooo Very Much!!! This was the Best wire tutorials I've seen yet! I'm 65 and Finally making my dream of making jewelry come true! I've spent years collecting stones hoping one day to make jewelry but life seems to just get in the way sometimes. Thought I would have the time once my children were raised.. but then started raising my 9 yr old granddaughter when she was 8 months old. Lost my 26 yr old son 6 yrs ago, my sister and last parent in a row, my granddaughter got cancer and we think (Please God) that its finally gone! Then I had to go and have a few strokes! smh! Enough! Not much time left! I'm starting NOW! hahaha!! So silly me.. all along I kept collecting "Pretties" But never got around to buying the Essentials! Wire, tools, etc! SMH!! Now that I'm soooo ready to start, all I can do is watch tutorials and try to organize my stones. sigh.. This helped me a lot. Now I know what wire to buy.. when I'm able to. another sigh.. haha! and I know what tools I'll need. It might be a while longer to be able to afford these things but I'm one Determined G'ma! I'm going to make jewelry if it's the last thing I ever do!! Besides.. I'm also Absolutely Determined to finish raising my granddaughter! She Has to come first! But I figure maybe by the end of the year I should have a few of the items I'll need. A bit at a time. I've watched enough videos that I feel like I could start making Amazing wrapped jewelry as soon as I have wire and a tool in my hand! aaaahahahahahaaa!! Nothing like the Amazingly Beautiful pieces you do.. but the basics anyway. Can't wait!! Thank you again! I'm going for; 18,20,22,26, DS Copper. That should cover what I want to do. I have what tools I'll need. The hard part will be waiting.. Big sigh! haha! Much Love and Big Hugs! Blessings

This was really great... Thank you for being so thorough and detailed with your explanations

Thank you so much for sharing this info with us. I am chomping at the bit to just START but trying to learn more before buying what I need or want. This helped so much.

I have been toying with the idea of learning wire wrapping and this Basic 101 info is just what I needed. Thank you. I really enjoyed it and I tried to capture notes for page protectors. Thank you very much.

As a newbie this was perfect! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and expertise.

Thank you for this tutorial! I bought some wire a long time ago that I recently started using to add simple wrappings to small painted bottles I sell but I couldn't figure out what the gauge was and my local art store is sadly depleted at the moment so I couldn't find a good comparison. This is the first tutorial I found that actually shows each of the gauges so I just wanted to say thank you so much for this! It was so helpful in solving my problem.

This is exactly the info I was looking for, thank you for showing the actual wire and going over the many uses. Just about to dip my feet into the wonders of wire wrapping stone pendants to accent my stone necklaces :)

Best video so far about the difference types. Hands down. If I find one about tarnish and all the aspects and maintenance, I will be set. Thank you.

I'm so glad I found this, because I couldn't understand why some 20 gauge wire that I have is thicker than others. I never knew about AWG and SWG. Thank you!

Probably the most comprehensive tutorial on Jewelry wire! For those of us just contemplating learning wire wrapping, I wish you had put in the description where you buy your wire.

Very helpful video, thank you! I would like to begin to learn and wire wrap my own stones for pendants. This is all new to me..

Thank you for the video, very simple and informative. It will help me to start out not buying wires i might not need because i know which ones are used for each.

You're a very special being, ty for your video.

your work is way over my head as a beginner, but it is absolutely stunning and meticulous .... thanx for your sharing of your expertise.

Im not looking at the wires, im looking at your nails, they are cute! Love the simplicity and glitters on it!

thank you for being so clear with this video ❤️

Thank you for making this video, I found it very informative and useful!

Thank you so much, all the information I needed and more! And your pieces are beautiful.

Thank you dear Lady, I thought I was going to have to buy a book !!! lol Great instructions ❤🦋❤

Here in 2020... thank you for this vid. It's great to see someone handling each of the wires. Pictures don't do it justice. I wondered, are each of these wires dead soft? Thanks!

Gm. Thanks so much, yes ur info helps a lot. I'm a beginner jewelry designer and I usually make earrings with beads with headpins, eyepins, help cords but I want to get into wire wrapping. I made a ring with that dollar tree wire just to see if I could do it. Not the floral wire but the wire they have in the tool, automobile aisle. I also use that wire for certain earrings styles but not ear wires. I did use the floral wire too as a component to another dangle earrings style. But now I want to move up to wire rings and earrings . Ok sorry for being long winded. Lol. Tfs. I appreciate all ur knowledge

Thanks for this info! Id like to see the different uses for them also...

I have used the 24 gage for Christmas spider earrings

Thank you very helpful!

Thank you!!!

24 and 26 gauge wire is always the preferred wire for French and Venetian Beaded Floral designs as it accepts the seed beads and the 24 holds the intended shape very well.

Thank you!

Hi, thanks for the video. Do you use half hard or dead soft?

Hello there! Now learning how to work with thicker gauges such as 12 and 10. Do you have any tool recommendations?

Thanks. Which gauge is used for wired ribbons? Where can I get the particular wire?

Thanks, so where do you buy your wire from? There are no links in your description. Thanks!

What’s a good brand of wire to buy ? I’m having trouble finding good quality

Gm Gina, beaded jewelry diva 😁. My question about wire is if making rings and bracelets etc what wire good on the skin.?? I heard don't use aluminum . Is the non tarnish artistic wire best to use . Thanks

What gauge is good for bracelet, ring and anklets?? Pls reply

Hi can you tell where to find the wire gauge tool? Searched everywhere but can’t find it even on online stores, maybe goes with other names? Thanks for your help.

What would you recommend for a yarn, posable doll? Maybe 8 inch tall?

which gauge wire is most suitable for making nose rings?

Wire gauge is a measurement of wire diameter. This determines the amount of electric current the wire can safely carry, as well as its electrical resistance and weight.

Anybody know which Is the best wrapping wire size

May i ask where you bought your wire?

would a 16 gauge gold-filled wire have the same stiffness/flexibility as a 16 gauge gold-plated wire? if so, which one is would be easier to shape?

What does -mt mean on the wire label.

So delicate and fun..lol..which gauge would you recommend for this..I was wearing towards the 30? Thanks 🙏🏼 oh and the coil is 1” if that helps.x

Hola gracias... dise que no existe esa pagina

I want to make a sterling silver double foxtail about 22 inches long. I want it to be pretty thick. About 5mm in diameter. What gauge of wire would be the best option, and how many feet would i need? I was thinking about 20gauge with half inch rings to start. Another question would be, are half inch rings too small for 20 gauge or will it be ok?

This copper wire or any other type of wire tell me.where can I get this wire.

Hola como esta dónde puedo conprar esos alambres por favor

I want the wire

The reason that I tuned into your video is because I have some 12 gauge wire, but you dismissed the 12 gauge because you don't use it. What about the rest of us?

remove your crazy nail polish confuses eyes

Why didn't you SHOW what each gauge is used for? The terminology you used may not be familiar to noobs. "This is good for so and so" - well, what is the "so and so"? SHOW it - after all, you're showing VIDEO, you're not on radio.

Thank you!!!

Thanks!
