    This was terrible. I have been a silversmith for 6 years now and wanted a refresher on my wire-work. Beginners' books with no pictures....kind of like wire wrapping with no hands.

    It would have been a lot better if it had photos so that you could see where you are in the various stages as well as looking to see if you were doing it correctly.

DEFINITION OF TERMS

Weaving wire: Otherwise called warp wire/ adds-on wire. It is used to make the necessary movement when necessary. In most times it's very flexible and soft for wrapping around the base wire.
