    Great educational video.
    2 years ago a video you posted had inspired me to take up jewellery making. I have watched your videos regularly ever since.
    I am a beginner in terms of making my own findings which enables me to avoid the excessive prices of store bought. With this one and the other tutorial about finishing my pieces professionally, I learned a lot. I now confidently produce real nice quality of jewellery ready for the market - not a minute too early since both, my husband and I, have lost our respective jobs due to the pandemic. You have no idea how much new skill you teach will help to pay our bills at this difficult time.
    Thank you so much!
    ....and thank you for talking slower on this tutorial, which helps many of us English-as-a-second language-people follow your advice.

    • @Potomacbeadco

    May I ask if you are using dead soft wire? I see many tutorials about wrapping, & every one of them wraps so evenly & quickly, & most times without using pliers to assist. It baffles me. Are my hands just weak or is it dead soft wire?
    Also, which brand of SS & SP wire do you prefer to use? I’d like to invest in some SS, & with it being so expensive I’d love a pro’s advice before I purchase.
    Thank you, your tutorials are very helpful.

    • @Potomacbeadco
      @Potomacbeadco  Год назад

      We do like to wrap with a dead soft to get those nice even wraps. Here is what we use. www.potomacbeads.com/potomax-jewelers-wire

  • @angelacrowe5575
    @angelacrowe5575 3 года назад

    Hi Allie. I'm a little confused about instructions at 16:32. You said to make sure that bar does not fit through the end of piece. What exactly are you explaining and why?? I've tried to grasp it several times but just couldn't understand it. I know it's something important though. Thanks 😊.

    • @Potomacbeadco
      @Potomacbeadco  3 года назад

      When saying that, we mean the bar part of your clasp should be longer than the width of your circular piece so that it will stay in place and not just slide out!
