Just rolled the wrappers on the two sticks I made yesterday:



A few things I've learned:

Smoothing out the binder and wrapper leaves and then keeping them nice while rolling them requires three hands somehow. I had torn one binder leaf a little while doing this.

Orienting the wrapper leaf didn't seem to work correctly for me. The end of the leaf ending up close to the middle on the smaller stick. What the hell happened?!?! I ensured the veins were oriented correctly. I guess that's not as important as ensuring there's plenty of end to twist?

I never could get a nice tight pigtail like in the video.

Not the foot but the other end (forgot the term) never ended in a nice rounded end.

The cap cutting tool is clearly too small even for my undersized stick. I didn't even bother with the bigger one that's correctly sized at ~48 ring.

I didn't use my cigar cutter to make a nice clean foot. Usually I like for things to be proper but I just didn't see the point and was afraid I might just mess it up anyway.

This was fun regardless. I'll watch some other videos before I do this again.
