Wire wrapped handle

<< < (5/5)

Sir Brian:

--- Quote from: J.G.Elmslie on 2012-06-22, 00:13:13 ---...your first step is to use the ball of string. stick it onto your hilt where you want the wire wrap to start, and wrap it around, all the way to where you want to end. mark it, and unwrap from the hilt. That'll give you a good estimate of the length of wire you're going to need to do your wrap. Saves you screaming when you realise you're 6 inches short...

Having done this step then measured the string; a decent guideline would be for every 4" of handle to be wrapped correlates to 12 yards of wire which should have sufficient length remaining if you go past that a little.  ;)
