For DU men that wire-dress regularly

Wired Edge. Allow between two and a half to three times the diameter of the wire for this. Start by bending to the pencil line on a hatchet stake, figure 15A, then lay the wire in and tap down until the wire is trapped (B). Next, true the edge on a bick iron or similar stake as shown at C and D.

If the tin plate does not enclose the wire, "dress" with a mallet using a sweeping action to one side as shown at E. If too much metal has been bent over, "dress" in the other direction. The edge can then be finished on a creasing iron as shown at F.
