These videos are SO funny!
The people demonstrating the technique look so uncomfortable with it. They have the Coiling Gizmo attached to the corner of a table with a clamp. The spool of (too-heavy) artistic copper wire is dangling off the end of the table and getting in the way.
And overall, they just don't look like they do this very often.
I, on the other hand, do it almost every day. I will soon be producing my own how-to videos, and you will find that the technique is not nearly as tedious, difficult, or uncomfortable as it looks.
My coiled wire jewelry is much finer than that you will see on the existing videos. I use a finer gauge of the artistic copper wire with lots of different seed bead mixtures to give my designs an elegant look.

I make coiled wire jewelry in dozens of artistic copper wire colors and even more seed mixture colors, all of which I create myself. My Serpentine Seed designs are original copyrighted designs.

In addition to coiling wire for jewelry, I also use a wire jig to create shapes like the one in the picture below. These shapes are beautiful and big, but very light, and make great earrings and pendants. The one in this picture is a stylized celtic knot. I also make: trees, snowflakes, crosses, holly leaves, treble clefs, and happy hearts.

The 24 gauge artistic copper wire is not only great for coiling, but is also just the right gauge for crochet. I make some beautiful bracelets with this wire, some featuring simple crystals in beautiful colors, some featuring fancy lampwork beads and specialty beads, and others which feature my own Serpentine Seed Nugget beads, as in the picture below:
