Good job. Never normally comment on safety but speaking to my fenser today who's son took a hight tensile wire right through the pupil. luckily mist the reterner but Now has one blue eye and thanks to the surgeon has one big black hole in the other but can still see. Please keep your eyes safe.
Good stuff Tim... made me laugh when your daughter drove by lol
You and me both!
👍👏 Can you not get Voltorol to sponsor a future video!! 😂
Dont forget the safety glasses when working with that wire. It can very easily flick up, especially when you cut it. Or even when you bend down to pick something up it can all to easily end up in an eye. Stay safe. Great effort for your first go 👍
You can tell who the boss is
Hey team. Love your work 👍
Eden is a legend. What a wonderful helper.
1st hi guys hope ur well ❤🏴
I seem to remember that when making Star Wars the FX guys used high tensile cables to produce the blaster sound. They would hit it and they got a similar sound to you.
No way! Thought it was just me being childish. I ping them as I walk past most days. 😂
Have you sen the staple guns that electricians use to staple wire to concrete ? Might be useful on those hardwood posts.....
I would have put 3 in as well!
Your eldest is a real credit to you. You must be really proud of her.
Love it. The little helper is getting properly involved.
Glad to see it’s not only me that has a set of moderately-rusty chisels. Mine sit at the bottom of my tool box for when I need to give something some real welly but don’t want to use my properly honed chisels! I’ve even used them for knocking-off bits of extraneous concrete 😂
Good to watch them h braces come together. I did a few of them myself this year, satisfying!
I would put three in also.
I learnt to drive the same way. On my mates farm, sat on coats in an old pickup.
Excellent work - just about to start mine so this came at a very appropriate time. Could do with a set of those wire strainers/crimpers. 👍🏻
another great vid - good to see when the fam are involved!!
I hope one day i can have a farm to raise my kids with natureish lol
Don't be to keen to stretch your fence wires too tight because when the temperature drops the wire will contract. I remember being told "Never tension fence wires in hot weather ". Also, there is a hand tool for "Wrapping" the wire end around the wires length, I found a good quality ring spanner works just as well. I can't remember the spanner size but it it was around 13 mm, simply put the wire end through ring spanner and slide the spanner down to the wires length and rotate the spanner 360 degrees 4 or 5 times. The best way to cut short any unwanted bits is to "Nic" the wire (file, Dremmel )and bend back and forth till it breaks.
No pressure, but imagine how stuck the bridge materials will be after over-wintering in pasture...
Otherwise, I'm ever more impressed with y'alls work! My husband is more and more convinced that we can DIY our garage, just watching y'all.
Keep your fences straight as possible better for tractor work further down the track ,expat watching in Tasmania
😀😃😄😁😆😊😉🫠🙃🙂
I am getting the exact same with my tornado staples on bog standard cheapo spruce posts, they are too soft and squash up.
Un, deux, trois... You count very well in French 👍😉
That chisel was killing me Tim 😂 other than that great work
Ah, she is her mother's daughter. 😂
A tip on staples. Put them in at an angle to stop splits in the posts
Yeah talked about that exact thing on the other channel in tonight’s video. When testing different staples and new fencing stapler. 👍
You learn quickly when the staples pop out in dry summers😊😊
Just a random thought…How about asking the people who are coming on the planting weekend to help carry the poles over to the where you need them…Many hands make light work.
The fence is looking great, you clearly took notice while the other fence went up.
The truck and trailer can do most of the work but if we miraculously plant all in record time we can work on other projects. 👍
Great video as usual Tim 😊
You will find posts in hedges will fly in as the ground is so loose and to a degree, fence lines. Still worth making a hole to check for roots/stones but no need to widen it much. The higher fields will be more of a workout.
Especially with the rabbits! Going to be hard to find solid ground in some hedgerows!
#keck-ning 😂
mate, that sound from hitting the wire is what they used to make the blaster sound in the first star wars film!
Great job, the thing about fencing is when u have it all figured out, there is no fencing left to do 😁,Great peace of mind when the farm is fenced.
Very true! Can’t wait to get it done as once we start the house build we won’t have time to dedicate to things like fencing and pipes etc. 👍
hahaha there is always fencing to do.
Have you thought about a little post knocker for the back of the massey? Might be something usable out there for you and its got to be better than doing it by hand 😂
We have a handheld petrol machine to try next week, ground not hard so should be fine. Access is poor in the next field for a small tractor but should be able to get the big posts put in. Most small post drivers for tractors only adjust one way so not well suited for slopes and banks. 😟
thats not a nice thing to call his daughter, she has got a name
