smallclaas Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 Looks good Marky, must take some time and alot of dedication to make. Looks good though like the real thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ferguson Posted January 19, 2006 Author Share Posted January 19, 2006 Thanks Ben... It's simply two sizes of fuse wire (stolen from my engineering neighbour) - stretch the thick wire straight in a vice by pulling it tight - wrap thinner wire around twice, keeping the ends opposed.... cut with some snips - not sure how far apart to fix the spikes yet and not sure how to fix them - Solder or Superglue ? I reckon with wooden posts it may look quite effective - I may even crank them at the top like the stuff on our industrial estate. And no you bl**dy well can't have a roll - you can have the rolls when I've finished and make your own ? :D Not again Martin - you taken up pot smoking up there ?

jakescot Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 most excellent dude , another talented chap for sure, a comment for u , the barbed wire in real life that`s made with a single main strand with barbs like you have ?.........yes?...........well the barbs can move on it, they arent supposed to but they do get pulled along. A way to stop it would be to twist two thinner strands of fuse wire together say two or three turns , add a barb looped over one strand and twist a few times again?? the big prob i`d have with that is the time it would take on top of the need to keep the wire thin to make it real looking and the amount of wire you`d actually need .
