How To: Twisting & Coiling Wire With a Drill

Not all jewelry-making tools are considered JEWELRY MAKING tools. Let me introduce you to one of my favorites, the common drill. I use my drill to twist wires and coil coils quite often. It's one of those invaluable shortcuts. In this video, I share the techniques I use so I get a smooth, consistent result every time you need to twist or coil wire.

Good luck & remember, we do this for fun! If you have questions or comments, leave them below & thanks for watching!

I’ve been working with wire for over a year now and I have been working with it by hand and it’s been hard on my wrist with constant twisting and manipulating it. I seen a similar video on TikTok and thought I’d look more into it and I’m glad that I did! Your video was so easy to follow!

Excellent method of coil winding. Coil winding a a very misunderstood art. anything from small radio frequency coil to large motor winding coils.

Cool! My daughters used a drill, putting a peeler on it to peel apples. 😂

Thank you, you can wear a finger cot or tape so you don’t get blisters! I have a coiling gizmo but I’m going to try the drill or dremel your way.

unique supplies like the "clamp" where can I buy it? Also.yes one wire will not twist. Although two round wires will twist.

Hello. I'm working on creating some coils, but I need then to coil up in clockwise direction. Must I spin my drill clockwise or counterclockwise??

[debbiemorris]

Thank you for sharing this. Can you please tell me what "type" (the name) of clamp you are using and where you purchased it from?

[courierdog]

now you are trespassing into Man's territory (Ha Ha, just kidding) at least it is not battery powered which is where you really cross the line. again just kidding. More people like my daughter should know how to fend for them selves at least the basic stuff, Like changing your own tire when it goes flat some where between no where and who ville. in real winter, here that means -40C with a 40 mile per hour wind. and it is night time.
