Looking for old barbed wire

[springwater]

Thanks heaps Toggy just give us a yell when your're ready

[springwater]

I would not be putting this anywhere near the back seat of a car. It will shred several pairs of heavy leather gloves just dismantling; so imagine what it will do to upholstery.

Just a thought, geez! I miss my one ton

[RETIRED]

Maybe we could set some up outside the front door of 's shed.

[springwater]

Might see you when it's finished, Springwater. I'm often up that creek m'self.

Well at least we'll have something to talk about

[Toggy]

Springwater,

Harvesting, packing & storing of your crop was completed today.

Good guess; two pairs of shredded gloves; would have been 3 if I had them.
Plenty of was wounds and claret from me as well.

Have I said how much I hate working with barbed wire...

No, but I am guessing. NOT A LOT??

Thanks Toggy, I've got a few pairs of leather riggers gloves tucked away somewhere that you could have if that's any compensation and I reckon I could muster a bit of claret of the amber kind if that'd help your pain?

So what'll we do about moving the wire? I'll do waht I have to to shift it, no rush though but I can still move fairly quickly...I think

[Toggy]

SW,

The barb is rolled into coils and stacked out of the way. It's not any problem where it is at the moment (unless I get the scrappie in to get rid of the young blokes escort van beside it. Major cleanup and updates going on with view of putting the place on the market in the new year.
I will be going to Rosebud for Xmas in my ute, but the Mrs will want the front seat and other gear & dogs get the back. Of course the dogs would rather the front with the airconditioner; but I can see the Mrs putting up a fight about having the back.

Actually the wire is in better nick than the box posts. Out of 36 of them I doubt if there will be a weeks winter heating in them.

I hope Xmas's weather is mild the for your dogs sake at least then. Thanks very much for bringing down the barb Toggy, it's probably the best time too as I'll get a little breather from work before next year to put it into action.

I'll PM send you some details

[springwater]

Hi Ken, I'm sorry I just missed your call and I can't call you back. I'll be home Thursday arvo and most of Friday so hope to see you then.

[springwater]

After leaving work behind for the last time this year I pulled into our driveway and saw two big rolls of barbed wire that Ken had dropped off I'm so stoked, it's just what I wanted, thanks heaps Ken Unfortunatley we didn't get to meet up though and that no one was here to greet him with a cuppa as the better half was called into work out of the blue

Just so you get the picture here's the barb. The re-configured carcass as yet without all the barb or front-end modifications and other stuff. The general construction method. And a small length of barb weaved in. Pretty sure it's not gunna be a tip toe amongst the tulips getting this one done

Well the pointy nose pliers slipped off the fenceing wire as I was forcefully pulling it through a few holes and I copped the pointy end up me nose and at the same time punched myself in the head

..... Oh! Sorry! Do you need a band aid?

Be careful though! My uncle lost an eye to barbed wire flicking up and getting him! Do you have any safety glasses? Go and put them on! :

[springwater]

I'm only using safety glasses when I'm using the angle grinder with the wire brush attachment deep from hell...and I'm lying I've gotten to know that fencing wire wants to go back the way it was and one must put in a little time persuading it to do otherwise
