Mike A crosswrap will never be tight without a little coercion from a burnishing tool. You can still tighten this wrap up a bit but nothing beats tightening during the entire process. Looks a lot better than my second wrap.

Mike, you'll be fine, your off to a good start, once you get used to packing every wrap will be nicer than the one before

On this on you have to work a bit on tightening it. This will come in time but you can save this one like Scott says above. It is amazing what can be done with the proper tools and a lot of patience.

He is packing, as you can see some frayed threads which I assume are from the packing tool. If you bought one of the one sI was selling, you MUST buff out the sharp edges, or sand them out. It takes some time to get used to understanding how the threads lock, and which direction and with how much tension to push. A lot of times it you do not wrap teh threads on teh blank tight enough, when you pack they won't stay put. I made it look a little easier than it is when I did the Demo, but with a little practice you'll get it.
