Step 3Securing the Base
Ok, the second step in forming the base involves securing the wire against itself. This will also lead to the placement of the upright.
This is really just a reverse of the initial step of unwrapping the wire. Place the twisted end against the other side of the circle, grip the two pieces of wire, and turn your pliers to re-wrap the wire against the base. This should be fairly easy if you make sure to use the same direction that the wire was originally wrapped in. If you have trouble, you only need a wrap or two to hold it in place. Any excess can be cut off with a snip, diagonal cutter, or the cutters on your linesman pliers.
