Coiled Coils Calculator - you know I was gonna do it!! This is one of the hardest things for artists to figure out so I built us a Calculator! Here is the link...

Please let me know what you think and how accurate you think it is. Please use copper wires and not your precious metals if you are testing accuracy. I am still working on building it so your feedback is greatly appreciated! Much love! I hope this helps! Here's how it works: 1. Enter the desired finished length of your coiled coil. 2. Pick the Gauges of wire you're working with. 3. Press Calculate. 4. The results will tell you how long that first coiled wire needs to be to make your finished coiled coil length based on your gauges of wire. And that's the part that we need to know. Yay! In the example in these images, you can see that if I want a 2 inch finished coiled coil, and I am using 28 gauge for the first coil around 24 gauge core, and my final core is 20 gauge that I will tie onto the pendant with, then my first coil needs to be 8 inches long to get a 2 inch finished length on a 20 gauge final core wire. Try it! Let me know what you think. Thank you for participating and thank you for watching and subscribing to my channel! I work hard to bring us helpful tools, good techniques and beautiful designs.
