Wire Wrapping - Loading a bobbin & why it's so useful 

"If you sat through this whole video than you have this info....otherwise....your not here"

I sat through the whole video and I so appreciate your explanation of the bobbin and its function you brought up some really good points about the wire stress. Thank you so much.

OOOOMG!!!! I NEED ONE OF THOSE DRILLS MAN! been doing it just by hand wrapping, taking so long and so difficult! thanks for the great tip!

OMG I'm so happy you made this video. From now on i'm going to use my drill to wrap my wire on my bobin and save a lot of time and efforts ( no more winding by hand ) ! I will never forget you because of this usefull tip! Thank you so much ! Oh, i love your beautiful wire wrapping style !

Awesome! Thanks so much. I never thought of using a bobbin. DUH!!😹

I always use bobbins but never thought about using a drill to wrap the wire onto them. Great tip!

Thanks I didn’t know how useful a bobbin is! Great video...

Seth you are a genius! This is a very useful video and you did a fine job of rigging that up. I can easily do that., The bobbin you are using I would recommend to everyone. Its the EZ-Bob Bobbin and comes in multiple sizes, from 1.8" diameter to 3.5" diameter. Once you wrap your wire, the top flips down and covers it preventing unwinding of wire, thread, etc, and also keeps it enclosed and clean. I love those bobbins. They hold a lot but mainly for thin wire or half round. I bought 22 gauge Half Round Copper wire in a coil, not spooled. Soon as I used it, it became a tangled mess. Trying to wind it by hand resulted in a disfigured wire that is all twisted up and unusable. So sad. I'm thinking that I will get a wire drawplate, run it through the same dimension hole, and straighten it out this way while spooling with a drill a few yards at a time. I have 50 ft of wire. Has anyone ever done this? Anyone know of a good quality Half Round Draw Plate? Hard to find shapes other than Round drawplates. Best to keep these videos shorter with some editing. I removed my previous rude comment, sorry. Really appreciate your tip. Thanks for no music so I can focus!

Newbie here, appreciate you.

HOOT HOOT WOW THANK YOU VERY VERY VERY MUCH.... I WAS WONDERING HOW I COULD SPEED UP THE PROCESS OF PUTTING WIRE ON THOSE SPOOLS AN YOU JUST MADE MY EVER LOVEN DAY.... I CAN NOT SAY THANK YOU ENOUGH WITH THESE OL HANDS ANYTHING THAT CAN SAVE MY FINGERS IS MAGIC.... BLESSINGS & BE HOPE FILLED FRANKI

Hi Seth, just received a package of these spools but have not filled them for which I am glad. Now I will know what I am doing, thank you!. 🙏🏼🌷

I learned so much! Thanks for taking the time to make this video. I knew I needed a bobbin, I just didn't know why since it still kept kinking up on me. Now I know how to use it properly. Thanks again! Can't wait to see the bracelet tutorial!

i like your wire work. Laura in Uk

Thank You Soooo much for teaching us .You do beautiful work and you are a extremely talented teacher.

Thank you so much this was extremely helpful much appreciated

Great tips and tricks - thank you

I love your work!!! Thank you so much for teaching us. These type of tips are gold for people That are just starting to weave. Much love to you! ❤️

You were in my suggested videos. I watched your first video and loved it! Thank you for sharing!

Very informative great job!! I’ve been using bobbins for about 10 years after learning about them from Sarah Thompson’s Craftsy. I don’t know how I ever did anything with wire before! Kinda like the internet how did we as the human race get on with cell phones!! People had to actually wait for you to get home to call and now people answer the phone in the bathroom!

Excellent video. TU❤

Thanks Seth!

Ever tried using a free standing thread stand for a sewing machine for those bigger spools? Obviously don't take it up through the upper hook, just let it run off the spool as it spins. I use one for my leather lace spools and they work a treat😉

Thank God for your video! I have been searching the net about wire weaving and working with bobbins but no luck,(probably not wording things correctly) LOL! This was extremely helpful and I am glad you took the time to go the extra mile. I heard you mentioning groups, what group do you participate in? Thank you again! Extremely grateful.

Good information 😊

Where do you get those bobbins?

please make a video showing us how you made this bracelet, that you are wearing in this video, it looks great, i would love it if you will show us, step by step. its a shame you have not done any videos in a while as your obviously really good at wire jewelry. I would love to see more of your wire Jewelry videos. please, please, thank you, Laura in Uk

Please...... more videos.

I love using bobbins for wire weaving, but I was winding by hand. I think I'll have to try the drill.

🙏🙏💕. You mentioned making a pendant and bracelet tutorial. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE. All I us would really appreciate it 🤗

Seth, I have some of those spools but have you seen or tried these Beadalon 25-Piece Spool Tamer Sets ? They are amazing and so adjustable on almost any size spools of wire, no more crazy mess. Amazon has these for 17.85 for 25 pieces..you will love them. The adjustable plastic buckle has a hole in it to put your wire through so you just pull out what you need without having to recoil. Great idea though on loading those spools, thank you. Reply

That's fascinating about keeping the bobbin closer to the base wires as to not twist the wire. It makes perfect sense How do you measure it for IRS/inventory purposes? I normally put a piece of painters tape every 12" and that is where I have the bobbin. Thanks if you can reply.

Great idea, do you find it work hardens the wire?

Can you tell me if you you sell the pieces for the drill that connect to the clamp for wire making

Does half round wire work with a bobbin?

Where can I pick up a few of those bobbins?

PLEASE...... Do the bracelet video!!!

Why did you stop your Tutorials? Please, come back!

I keep all my wire on bobbins but never drilled it!!!
