Daily Wire Jewelry Making Tip

Question:

I need hints on twisting wire. How long a piece can you twist in a pin vise? It is it better to twist long or short pieces? When using a pin vise, is there a sure fire technique for keeping the twists even? If using a regular power drill, how would I twist longer pieces?

Answer:

The easiest way for me to answer this is to direct you to the page where we have all of our video tips on wire wrapping techniques. You may not yet be aware of the fact that we are now keeping them in one place so you can view these tutorials any time you’d like! Sherrie Lingerfelt does a great demo showing several ways to twist wire: http://www.wire-sculpture.com/jewelry-making-blog/?p=212
