I sat through the whole video and I so appreciate your explanation of the bobbin and its function you brought up some really good points about the wire stress. Thank you so much.
OMG I'm so happy you made this video. From now on i'm going to use my drill to wrap my wire on my bobin and save a lot of time and efforts ( no more winding by hand ) ! I will never forget you because of this usefull tip! Thank you so much ! Oh, i love your beautiful wire wrapping style !
Seth you are a genius! This is a very useful video and you did a fine job of rigging that up. I can easily do that., The bobbin you are using I would recommend to everyone. Its the EZ-Bob Bobbin and comes in multiple sizes, from 1.8" diameter to 3.5" diameter. Once you wrap your wire, the top flips down and covers it preventing unwinding of wire, thread, etc, and also keeps it enclosed and clean. I love those bobbins. They hold a lot but mainly for thin wire or half round. I bought 22 gauge Half Round Copper wire in a coil, not spooled. Soon as I used it, it became a tangled mess. Trying to wind it by hand resulted in a disfigured wire that is all twisted up and unusable. So sad. I'm thinking that I will get a wire drawplate, run it through the same dimension hole, and straighten it out this way while spooling with a drill a few yards at a time. I have 50 ft of wire. Has anyone ever done this? Anyone know of a good quality Half Round Draw Plate? Hard to find shapes other than Round drawplates. Best to keep these videos shorter with some editing. I removed my previous rude comment, sorry. Really appreciate your tip. Thanks for no music so I can focus!
HOOT HOOT WOW THANK YOU VERY VERY VERY MUCH.... I WAS WONDERING HOW I COULD SPEED UP THE PROCESS OF PUTTING WIRE ON THOSE SPOOLS AN YOU JUST MADE MY EVER LOVEN DAY.... I CAN NOT SAY THANK YOU ENOUGH WITH THESE OL HANDS ANYTHING THAT CAN SAVE MY FINGERS IS MAGIC.... BLESSINGS & BE HOPE FILLED FRANKI
Ever tried using a free standing thread stand for a sewing machine for those bigger spools? Obviously don't take it up through the upper hook, just let it run off the spool as it spins. I use one for my leather lace spools and they work a treat😉
I learned so much! Thanks for taking the time to make this video. I knew I needed a bobbin, I just didn't know why since it still kept kinking up on me. Now I know how to use it properly. Thanks again! Can't wait to see the bracelet tutorial!
please make a video showing us how you made this bracelet, that you are wearing in this video, it looks great, i would love it if you will show us, step by step. its a shame you have not done any videos in a while as your obviously really good at wire jewelry. I would love to see more of your wire Jewelry videos. please, please, thank you, Laura in Uk
Thank God for your video! I have been searching the net about wire weaving and working with bobbins but no luck,(probably not wording things correctly) LOL! This was extremely helpful and I am glad you took the time to go the extra mile. I heard you mentioning groups, what group do you participate in? Thank you again! Extremely grateful.
Very informative great job!! I’ve been using bobbins for about 10 years after learning about them from Sarah Thompson’s Craftsy. I don’t know how I ever did anything with wire before! Kinda like the internet how did we as the human race get on with cell phones!! People had to actually wait for you to get home to call and now people answer the phone in the bathroom!
Seth, I have some of those spools but have you seen or tried these Beadalon 25-Piece Spool Tamer Sets ? They are amazing and so adjustable on almost any size spools of wire, no more crazy mess. Amazon has these for 17.85 for 25 pieces..you will love them. The adjustable plastic buckle has a hole in it to put your wire through so you just pull out what you need without having to recoil. Great idea though on loading those spools, thank you. Reply
Yes I do have some of those. I don't use them much though. Just personal preference. Not to mention I don't think they fit or trust them on my bulk spools. So I would still have to transfer to a standard spool. If you only buy that size spool though it's definitely a viable option.
That's fascinating about keeping the bobbin closer to the base wires as to not twist the wire. It makes perfect sense How do you measure it for IRS/inventory purposes? I normally put a piece of painters tape every 12" and that is where I have the bobbin. Thanks if you can reply.
@@sethedelinski348 Well it is a pain. I might just start unrolling a bit and using a sharpie to mark 12" increments. I really like your style. It makes total sense. I didn't do inventory correctly the first few years so I am trying to make up for it. Estimating isn't my strong suit. I'm having to do that with old pieces I have done that I am currently selling.
I think you are talking about the swivels. If so then no I do not, but you can find them either on Amazon or most places that sell fishing supplies. Just search for fishing swivels on Amazon.
"If you sat through this whole video than you have this info....otherwise....your not here"
Hoping you get the urge to make more vids, btw.

OOOOMG!!!! I NEED ONE OF THOSE DRILLS MAN! been doing it just by hand wrapping, taking so long and so difficult! thanks for the great tip!
I always use bobbins but never thought about using a drill to wrap the wire onto them. Great tip!

Thank you. I have been feeling the urge to do some videos again. I get comments like yours here and there and it's very encouraging. Thank you again.
Hi Seth, just received a package of these spools but have not filled them for which I am glad. Now I will know what I am doing, thank you!. 🙏🏼🌷
Awesome! Thanks so much. I never thought of using a bobbin. DUH!!😹

Excellent video. TU❤
🙏🙏💕.
You mentioned making a pendant and bracelet tutorial. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE. All I us would really appreciate it 🤗
Thanks Seth!

Right? We did have pagers for a short while in between though. 😄
Please...... more videos.
You were in my suggested videos. I watched your first video and loved it! Thank you for sharing!
No way, that's awesome! Thank you for watching. So glad people are actually getting some use out of these.
@@sethedelinski348 I would imagine your channel will really grow. I can’t wait to see your future videos! Thank you again!
Good information 😊
Thank you. I wasn't sure how much info I could really give on using a bobbin, but I tried.😅
Thank you. Since I started using a bobbin it's a real game changer.
Sometimes the simple things give the most help. I enjoy your videos
I love using bobbins for wire weaving, but I was winding by hand. I think I'll have to try the drill.
Yeah I was not only getting a lot of hand cramps from winding by hand, but I was also using up so much of my actual wire wrapping time.

That's a really good tip as well. I don't a tally do a whole lot of measuring to be honest. Some pieces I will but 90% of the time I just estimate.

Where do you get those bobbins?
Great idea, do you find it work hardens the wire?
So sorry. Not sure how I missed this comment. But to answer your question, no i haven't notice it being any more stiff then it is right off the spool.
Can you tell me if you you sell the pieces for the drill that connect to the clamp for wire making
I think you are talking about the swivels. If so then no I do not, but you can find them either on Amazon or most places that sell fishing supplies. Just search for fishing swivels on Amazon.
PLEASE...... Do the bracelet video!!!
Where can I pick up a few of those bobbins?
Amazon... most of my supplies/tools come from Amazon. Except wire. Wire I order from Rio Grande.
Thanks a lot for the info, my bobbins just came in the mail and I just loaded a few up, straight up game changer right here!
Why did you stop your Tutorials? Please, come back!
Does half round wire work with a bobbin?
I mean you could put half round on one, you just need to make sure it's going on straight and not getting twisted.
I keep all my wire on bobbins but never drilled it!!!
