Flatten your curly wire using a flat round face hammer on a base metal plate (fig. 4g, 4h, 4i). 

Lastly, refine the shape of your curly design with a wire cutter and triangle diamond needle files (fig. 4j, 4k, 4l, 4m).

Found a gap in your curly design? You can use nylon jaw pliers to adjust its closing.

Repeat the same curly design process on the other left loose 12-gauge wire (fig. 5a).
