After Zombie Apocalypse or other upcoming events, people like us will be in high demand because they know how to repair things, generate electricity and clean parts. But to keep the looted zombies and neighbors out, you need to use a fence. Can you make your own barbed wire fence? If you watch [diamleon] recent videos, you may be able to. Admittedly, most of the video is about making fixtures. You should do some welding and cutting.
However, you may be able to make similar jigs with less effort. The clamp is an important spool on the shaft with a transverse notch to guide the conductor. The whole device is driven by an electric drill, which rotates the sprocket like a bicycle.
One pass through the machine can make a beautiful twisted wire. Once you’ve used up a few pieces of winding wire, you can weave them into the fence panel relatively easily. This is one of the things you can’t imagine before you see it. We were impressed by the rig driver and immediately considered modifying the design to wind large coils. There may be many other uses for this kind of thing. So even if you don’t want to build a fence, you may want to see it.
As for us, we may just use wood as a fence. Or do something electric. Strangely, last year we saw a hand-operated version of this type of machine.
