In this video I walk through three coiling techniques, a variation on the double coil, the king’s coil, and the alien coil. / raftark www.raftarkjew... / raftark
Your talent is amazing and your tutorials are wonderful. You are a born teacher, your instructions are precise, clear, and at a speed everyone can understand. The most wonderful thing is that you are willing to spend the time and energy to share your talent with those of us who have the desire to develop our waiting talents. Thank you so much for helping me with my quest. 😼💜
OMG!!! Why did I not watch this video months ago?!?! Lol... I've always wondered about the alien coil.... now I know! You are a wrap god! Thank you so much!
I have been watching your tutorials today, you have one of the best tutorials I've seen. You give very clear instructions and your designs are awesome ! Thank you for sharing your videos.
Thank you very much found you by accident I have subscribed love your work and your close ups and thank you so much for the coil tutorial I have been looking for some time for this kind of tutorial. Thanks again !
I have been binge watching your vids. What a joy. Clear, concise, no waffle, great camera work, perfect! Thank you so much for your time and knowledge. 💕
I tried this technique a few days ago after seeing ur video..even tho I was using half hard wire while waiting for my dead soft to arrive, it looks AMAZING...couldn't believe I was able to make something so professional looking🤯! I'm so thrilled to have found ur channel..It will help so much while I'm trying to level up to wire wrapping! Thank you so much for sharing ur knowledge with us!
Thank you, thank you, thank you. I have been trying to learn the various could and you made it so simple. You went at the speed I could go along with and explained the do's and don'ts with the various wires. I just love your tutorials.
Wow thank you so much, for showing us this video. It’s very helpful and now I know why these jewelry looks like so much work in its.. everything you been making is beautiful 💛🙏💛
Excellent as always! Really loved the last one you showed. Can't wait till I have some time to experiment with all the new techniques. Thanks so much for the great tutorials.
For aliens what I've been doing is using 3 core wires, 24g HR/HH. 30g for the alien, and whatever gauge square you feel cozy with for the core. I do 22 or 24 usually. Using paperclips/tape can help keep those wires parallel while constructing them. I typed this out before I got to your segment in the video on the aliens, curious to see how you execute yours! Thanks again for what you do in the community, Nolan.
Ahhhhh the 3 half rounds is a great idea! I bet it makes it much easier to keep them flat/parallel! Not to mention reduces the bulk. That’s a great tip! The paper clips is a great idea as well, I’ll have to give that one a go
I haven’t watched all of your videos yet so you probably answer this already but I can’t wait to find it. How are you using these wraps? You can just point me to the video if you have one showing this, thanks. Your videos are great learning tools. Thanks
I Love your videos! And as a result of them I am adding to my own knowledge of wire wrap/weaving.... Thank you, so much!.... Now - where can I purchase some of your art?
Do you use these coils for brackets and necklaces mainly? If so, how would you go about making proper endings for a clasp? I’m amazed by this technic and want to play with it! Thank you!!!
I have really gotten into your videos recently and I think you do a ridiculously incredible job but in the future, is it possible for you to record in higher resolutions? I think for this material in particular, that would be a big improvement.
Thank you very much for the awesome video - Question: Can the coils be gently shaped around a larger dowel without disrupting the coil pattern? Thanks again!
Someone suggested using a paperclip instead of any form of tape ~ I have yet to try that out myself, but I thought I'd share the info with you, too, Cassandra.
I saw a video a year or two ago of someone making their own coils for a vape... thing and they used the same method as the alien coil. Looked really cool.
I use to make alien coils for my vape. I was wondering is there a reason you don’t use a drill to wrap the core wires it takes some practice but cuts the wrapping of the core wires a million times faster. But back to my question is there a reason why ?
Where can I buy a pair of those beefy nylon pliers? Also I watched in another video of yours and saw some amazing half round pliers. What website would you recommend to pick these babies up?
Are you a vaper by any chance, if not, I suggest taking a look at some of the coil builders from the vape industry. You could get a lot of knowledge from them I think. There work is all over IG and utube
As a general rule, give or take, if I want a finished coil of 2 inches, how long do I need to make the component coils so that I don't come up short or have too much wasted? Thanks for all your tutorials!
I'm impressed with your hand spinning, but damn dude, get a drill lol If nothing else, it will clean up the claptons. Also you should try your hand at a tsuka coil, it's best done by hand rather than on a drill, so it would probably come naturally to you
I do have a drill but I prefer to do it by hand anyways. Occasionally I’ll use the drill if it’s a particularly long coil, but for most of my work it’s short enough not to feel like I need the drill
You are a great teacher! And very talented!
Best tutorials channel for jewellery making I found so far on youtube

Definitely going to pick up a clamp for them, the ring clamp gets clumsy during those long wrapping sessions.
Ahhhhh the 3 half rounds is a great idea! I bet it makes it much easier to keep them flat/parallel! Not to mention reduces the bulk. That’s a great tip!
The paper clips is a great idea as well, I’ll have to give that one a go
I love the alien coil!!! But gosh so time consuming!
Raina B it really is quite a time vacuum! It does look pretty cool though!
Ty you for the details I'm going to make this. I will post my results.
Beautiful coils my dude 😍
Wow !!! it is Gorgeous.......Thanks for share.
insane work

Wonderful!!!
I primarily use copper wire in my wrapping, but I'm having trouble finding half round and square wire. Where do you get yours?
Such a great tutorial WTG Keep 'em coming and nice ink
TJ Harshbarger thank you! 😊
Thank you! Super cool coils❣
Rochelle BG you are welcome! Thanks for watching

Judy Lindsey cheers! Thanks for watching!

this is so wow! thank you!
Beautiful. I was wondering could a person make these as stations on a chain ..
Cool indeed. Thanks.
Thank you very much for the awesome video - Question: Can the coils be gently shaped around a larger dowel without disrupting the coil pattern? Thanks again!
Dope bro
Use painters tape for less residue on wires
Someone suggested using a paperclip instead of any form of tape ~ I have yet to try that out myself, but I thought I'd share the info with you, too, Cassandra.
I do the paperclip trick when I'm making coils for vaping, works great but may fly off if you use a drill to coil faster
I saw a video a year or two ago of someone making their own coils for a vape... thing and they used the same method as the alien coil. Looked really cool.
What metal are you using do you prefer to work with?
Great vids. Where you get your wire?;
I use to make alien coils for my vape. I was wondering is there a reason you don’t use a drill to wrap the core wires it takes some practice but cuts the wrapping of the core wires a million times faster. But back to my question is there a reason why ?
Thanks! Nice !
You’re welcome!
Can you let me know where to get pliers/ nylon tipped like yours?
I have white beadalons and I don't care for em
Big Ed M I would like to know where you get your pliers also what brand they are
very nice work my new friend ;)
Where can I buy a pair of those beefy nylon pliers? Also I watched in another video of yours and saw some amazing half round pliers. What website would you recommend to pick these babies up?
I use riogrande.com!
Are they Swanstroms? I looked around on there and was wondering what you use.
Can I use flat wire for the core?
Are theses half hard wires ?
Thank you for charing. I'm looping for the same clamp. Could you please send me the name?
what kind of wire is that? Where can I buy?
Would you consider doing an 'applications' video?
Just an, 'easy to you', e.g.-?
The alien coil is primarily used in vaping
Genius!!!!
Amazing work .. where do you buy your tools (pliers,nylon tipped pliers ) ?
I’m a big fan of the folks at riogrande.com
They are an excellent resource for metals and tools
so cool
Are you a vaper by any chance, if not, I suggest taking a look at some of the coil builders from the vape industry. You could get a lot of knowledge from them I think. There work is all over IG and utube
I am not, but I appreciate the info!
I really love your work by the way, sorry I forgot to mention that before 👌🏻
what material is this?
What do u use these cords for ?
gorgeous
Gorgeous
What medal is the wire mad of??
Sterling silver
❤
As a general rule, give or take, if I want a finished coil of 2 inches, how long do I need to make the component coils so that I don't come up short or have too much wasted? Thanks for all your tutorials!
Someone know the name of this song?
