Learn to wire weave!

Shown are the basics of wire weaving with 2, 3, and 5 wires. I use Copper because it's easier to weave, feels warm to my hands unlike Silver which always feels cold when I work with it. Also Copper is less expensive and the perfect metal to start learning with. For a more in-depth lesson on wire and the differences in just the one kind, see Learn about wire gauges, shapes, hardness, etc.
For a look at the tools I find indispensable, see Learn about tools and how to use them efficiently.
