Full on game changer!! My GOD WOMAN!! THANK YOU!! I have been one of those who struggles with half round and square. Gets me so mad! This makes so much sense ! Thank you so much for teaching me and for all the help your videos have and are giving me.

So glad you enjoyed it! the round links are 16 gauge thick and the half round is 3 mm wide. :)

Very helpful information!!! Curious - would an oval wire need the same type of cutting, or can that be wrapped on a dowel like round?

So glad you enjoyed it! :) I find all shapes besides round have the same issues, so I use this method on all non round wire.
