Deere-est Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 Seal wire, it looks great for barbed wire. It's proper use is for electricity meters, fuel injector pumps etc. I used it to make a four strand fence around part of my yard. If you use two top strands and some mesh below it will make great stock fencing. Great start, is it an older setting for your farm? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete 2009 Posted June 19, 2009 Author Share Posted June 19, 2009 Thanks for the comments I just used some black thread for the wire instead ( its all i could get my hands on in such short notice ) Yes i am trying to make it look like an old farm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 On that note, try not to do things 'quickly' or 'make do'. Time doesn't matter when it comes down to looking right. There are layouts on here four years in the making and not finished yet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zetor 6911 Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 If you sieve fine sawdust onto a baseboard or aeroboard coated with pva glue it will give the impression of stubble Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deere-est Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 Well that was short lived! Bare in mind this kind of thing is no quick job and it is something you can either spend hours at a time doing or, just do a little bit now and again. It keeps your mind fresh and gives you chance to pick up ideas along the way. I'm doing a work shop at the moment which hasn't been touched for 7 months! I have just found something I have wanted for it for ages though. If I'd tried to do it all in one go months ago, I'd have bodged it and missed out on what I have just bought for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
