Oh no Katie! I’ve found myself binge watching and ordering tools and wire! 😂

I appreciate your detailed descriptions of your creative process. You presented a simplified breakdown that isn't overwhelming. I recently fell and broke my right shoulder, of course I am right handed. At 73 I am grateful I did not break a hip. Hopefully soon I will will be able to use my right hand to grasp a fork, toothbrush, comb, pliers, wire, etc. My Orthopedic Surgeon agreed 'pliers and wire' could be part of my PT. I look forward to utilizing your techniques. Thank you for sharing your expertise.

Very useful info, thanks very much for sharing. The thing that flummoxes me is the different wire sizes, there is no lack of the stuff but it’s all different sizes, gauges etc and I never know what I need to buy. Any recommendations would be very welcome - if you have the time. 🙏🏻🥰🌹🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Thank you 🙏 I will look at putting a tutorial together all about wire gauge and there uses. I know I would have also found that helpful when I got started 😁
