Jumbled snowflake wrap

[Bubba_Bruiser]

I tried a snowflake wrap on my scrap. I should have squared down the measurements on the outside box because it is too big and just looks like a bunch of diamonds and boxes running every where. Something should have dinged making the outside at half the intersections, but lessons learned and notes taken. I will know next time. But I did manage to get it to close up & complete my first closed wrap. This thing was terror on my eyes once I got down to the end too. Any suggestions, I gladly except them. Play on playa!

You're gonna go blind doing those snowflakes! I tried it ONE time, and don't think I wanna do it again. This was on a skinny UL blank. No 2 snowflakes are alike, right? You did great, Bubba!

Looks like you prepare challenges for your "office mate"!

If your geologist had the opportunity to take a close look at your thread work through his magnifier he would probably try to change the name from "Snowflake" to "Igneous Schist"! Any of various medium-grained to coarse-grained metamorphic rocks composed of laminated, often flaky parallel layers of chiefly micaceous minerals.

A task for you to contemplate - is there any way you can add all the LOOK without adding any weight?

Bill, I have no gumption towards putting these on a personal freshwater rod. If I built a salt water stick, I would think about it. But this is just for my personal benefit of knowing how to do it. And I ran the geo off the other day. I have got a subsea hanger hand from your neck of the woods in here with me now. He does for Coonglish, what Rosetta Stone does for all the other languages. I am learning a lot around here.

That's what I wanted Goags hahahaha! I think mine would work better on a piece of 2-3" tubing. Lesson learned on the math part though. The eyesight thing got pretty bad on the last 1/4". I did single runs, but 2 passes with each color.

Okay....I give up.....a hand wrapper, seriously? Although I have some of the same DNA of one of the greatest rod builders.....I still really suck at this! You have just confirmed that for me. Thanks a lot Bubba!

Thanks fellas and the lady, I appreciate it. If I had more speed in it, I wouldn't mind doing them on rods. I think it took 5 days at 1.5-2 hr sittings. That of course was between answering phones, emails, and eye breaks. So probably a total of 6-7 hrs of total turn time.

I know it's practice but those wraps are a great waste young man. They belong on some fishing rod waiting to catch someones personal best. Good color match and weave, green for scrap wrap.
