I have done a few myself and you can get varied thicknesses etc. Post some pics when you do them.

Just want to say, for anyone trying this, please be extremely careful.. if finger is inside the loop without noticing, you'll quickly lose a finger.

I've seen other videos where people have used wire to make trees. They do look fantastic, especially on model railroads. Great safety tip Jennifer.

	If someone tells you that you have enough craft suplies and you don't need anymore, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life. Tauster's Index (updated only irregularly, but with pics). All of my stuff here.

I just need to make the "bottom half" of a tree for my forest tile project, so that there is minimal stuff to get in the way of fingers.

sgtslag: randywest: just found Wargames Atlantic, five types, 28mm plastic fantasy. wargamesatlantic.com/collections/classic-fantasy, wargamesatlantic.com/collections/rgd-gaming. Cheers! Sept 21, 2020 17:02:03 GMT

sgtslag: Ran out of Hot Glue, with only five hills left to add a skirt to the sides of. Wal-Mart closes at 8:00 PM, thanks to COVID. GRRRrrr! Another 30 minutes of work, and I would have been done: ~77 hills, modular, perfectly matching my table's ground cloth! Sept 23, 2020 2:50:39 GMT

sgtslag: Hoping to acquire a Chop Saw within the next two weeks. Then I will cut up MDF into triangles, to form the skeleton of my d20 fantasy world globe... Posting will follow, with how-to guide.
