Mastering the Coiled Cable Weave: A Step-by-Step Guide

Materials Needed:

• List the materials required for the coiled cable weave:
  • Five base wires (20 gauge)
  • Weaving wire (28 gauge)
  • Flat nose pliers

Step-by-Step Guide:

1. Initial Setup:

   • Wrap the weaving wire around the bottom base wire three times.

2. Weaving Process:

   • Wrap the weaving wire around the bottom two base wires two times.
   • Continue wrapping around subsequent pairs of base wires two times each.
   • Ensure even tension and alignment of wires.

3. Creating the Coil:

   • Wrap the weaving wire around the top base wire to create a coil.
   • Wrap the wire around the top base wire approximately 20 times.
   • Adjust the tension as needed.

4. Descending the Coil:

   • Gradually bring the coil downward by folding the wire.
   • Use flat nose pliers to bend the wire for a parallel alignment with other wires.

5. Continuing the Weave:

   • Resume the weaving process by wrapping around the bottom two base wires.
   • Maintain consistency in wrapping and spacing.

6. Finishing Touches:

   • Secure the weave by wrapping the weaving wire around the bottom base wires.
   • Cut off any excess wire.
