Cab was done by my wife, an unknown jasper. Wrapped in 22ga round copper and 21ga half-round el cheapo. Think it might be beadalon. Anyway, here it is:  Not exactly symmetrical or clean, but I'm pretty happy! My biggest issues were getting the corners even. I felt like I was fighting with the wire to get it to cooperate! |

That is amazingly clean for a first wrap--or a 10th wrap. Your bindings look great, and those corners can be tough. Great job!

That's very good for the first time and nice cab also, love the lighting look. You might want to start and stop 1/2 round on inside facing back of cab. Keep up the good work.

Beautiful job on a first wrap!! It's very clean looking and your bindings are tight. I was gonna mention one thing, but steveo already caught it. If you do one every day you'll be putting out flawless work in a short time. I pro told me to do three a day, so I did. That was when I noticed my biggest improvement. Keep on posting!!  |

Wooooooo Hoooooooo, I just gotta say amazingly, excellent job on your first wrap!!!! And yes, just as Randy & Steveo said, keep the ends of your bindings on the inside next to your cab & you are good to go!!!! |

That is beautiful and squares can be one of the hardest shapes to wrap... well at least for me! Beautiful job and keep up the great work!!!
