Another African Brecciated jasper. Hopefully these aren't all starting to become repetitive, I attempt to do each one differently.....

Each one a little different. Love the contrasting twisted and straight wire. Accents the character of the cab. Lovely.

Your swirls look perfect...I use the right tools but it is not the same. You have a beautiful cab there too that looks wonderful in that wrap! Fran

Fran- I do every swirl and curve completely by hand. The only way that I can get the bends that I want is to feel them, pretty much the same as when I straighten body panels on old cars. The only bends that I use tools on are the 90 degree bends at the very bottom. If you're not already doing these by hand, give it a try!! All bends are done by holding the wire at the tips and using the fingers of your other hand to control the bends. Also, I bend the wires one at a time, not together, like in the tutorial. This always seems to work better for me.
