Car for wire work artist

   Today, I found my dream car - a car for wire work artist! :)
Of course it is not well-suited for the weather conditions in Ukraine. But it is beautiful! Very thin and hard work - so many details!
   A Croatian company MG Vrbanus manufactures doors and fences, and for advertising they decorated wrought Volkswagen Beetle.
   3500 man hours, 6 months of work, 24-carat gold leaves, 5000 Swarovsky crystals, and all that knitted with love and effort. Completely functional 1970 Volkswagen Beetle got the new bodywork made of wrought iron, and became world-famous.

Video Tutorial: How to fold a beautiful spiral and flatten it with a hammer.



I'm using a round copper wire of 1.3 mm in diameter. Have to bend very carefully, in small steps. I cut flat (not round) area within the helix.
I love working  with a metal handle hammer - it is quite, well absorbs vibration and shock. Hammer with a wooden handle is also good, but I like less.
We need to knock gently to evenly flattened wire. Step-by-step. Take your time - then we will have the edge is equable. 
I tap with a hammer just the reverse side. Thus the front side will be as smooth as mirror. 
The sharp edges of the wire is required to smooth out needle files.
