I have safety wired thousands of things so far in my career.  Most turn 
out ugly.  I think the twists are just there to make it difficult.

You can use stainless safety wire as a welding rod in a pinch, but you 
know darned well that a hose clamp MUST be baling wire!  No substitutes.

By the way, I did a beautiful job of wiring up the prop bolts on my 
Stinson one time and when I got done with all 8 of those things, I 
noticed all were tied backwards.  Need more practice.  <g>
