I didn't know anything about braids before I started. A search will provide a few websites that feature instructions. The one I found most useful is http://www.saroftreve.com/wwl/braiding/6round.shtml. The important thing is practicing with cheap wire before you try using the good stuff.I used two different colors of wire, then spray painted two of the three strands of each color so I had one green (or red) wire, one green/red wire with white spray paint, and one green/red wire with gray paint. The paint doesn't stick to teflon, but just enough of it remains during the braiding process to enable identification of each strand, which is crucial. I suppose you could use other identifiers such as numbered tags or tape.
Trust me: this is well worth the trouble. In fact, once you've tried it, you'll be eager to make more.
Peace,
Tom E
