Thank you, I did my first two clips for cattleyas today. I found only 12 guage wire, I think it works fine. Addicted to your videos, so much information to digest. Thank you and hope you feel good at this Easter day....
I have had 26 surgeries on my hands.....and you're right, with the right tools I am able to make these clips. My first ones were clumsy but they hold the pot.... thank you.
You always say "I'm no expert..." But the knowledge you share and the detail you always provide says otherwise. You make it look so easy. i just did some work with clips for a customer of mine and they were a pain in my butt. And yes please show us more! 👍👍👍👍
Just watched your video. Just in time for the spring fever of wanting to plant. But this is Tennessee and it was warm yesterday and it's raining today could be frost know we never know. But thank you I enjoy watching your videos and learn even though as you say you may ramble your Rambles have nuggets of wisdom.
Thank you for sharing the info on the wire you use, ceiling tie wire! I am making a list and when we go into town next week I am picking up lava rock, wire, and I've found the clay pots you use at home depot. I love the idea of making custom-made supports and hangers! I appreciate these videos, learning the how-tos
Absolutely. 30 yrs ago clay pots and osmunda was all we used - with clips like this but not made by me - and they stayed in those pots until the growths were several over the side - made large speciman plants by not disturbing so much and tons of flowers. I’m archiving your clips demos to make some of my kwn.. As usual.. great and thanks.
I really appreciate you taking the time to share your knowledge on making the clips. Something that I am going to make for my orchids. Kindly share more tutorials. Looking forward to seeing more. Thank you very much.
I’m new to your channel and now I’m hooked! You have some amazing skills and tips, I can’t stop watching. I’m new at orchids and you are inspiring me to grow more and more. Thank you.
Thankyou so much for sharing your skill. I was trying to work out how I could put some pots on our property fences so that I can put some flowers for the bees and insects. And being high enough the wallabies can't eat them. You have made my day.:)
Wonderful video, Rick. Thanks a ton for doing it. Also, fine work by your camera girl! Working with wire like this is something that I would never attempt without instructions like yours. I wouldn’t even know where to begin.. You make it look so easy, though I know I might struggle doing it at first. I can see using custom clips and wire supports for much more than planters. Knowing how to work with wire like this can have lots of practical applications for many types of projects around the home. You are a real asset to the TH-cam community. God bless you for being so generous with your time and knowledge.
Just catching up with your videos, this one is really good and helpful. Sorry that it has taken me a year to get to it ! I am off to buy some wire ! Your ideas are straight forward but work so well ! Thank you !
Brilliant! I enjoyed this video as I was trying to figure out to to make these clips 3 weeks ago. Glad I found this. Now your channel is one of the channels to watch during my morning coffee. Greetings from the Philippines. Cheers!
Hi Rick! Very helpful...it's so much better to make your own clips like this. It's also nice to see how these things can be made, I'm not a tool type person but I know someone who is...aka my camera man! :) Thanks to camera girl, we appreciate her help! Greetings from Tennessee!
Hi Rick..I'm a new fan of your's....really like how you explain what your doing and how.. Your Orchid's are simply beautiful..keep the video's coming.. Thank You Camera Girl, great job.... Sandy from Illinois..profile pic is our Son Rick (Great name), he loved flower's and had gorgeous flower bed's.... Keep those Orchid's Happy
Wow! I've really been looking forward to this video. Thanks for showing us. So much cheaper and I love being able to say I did it myself. Thanks for the empowerment.
Amy, your very welcome......they are easy to do.....nothing worse than a plant not anchored well or a bamboo stake wobbling around.....hope they help..
I put one on every pot, they never fail to come in handy thru out the plants growing life....for holding spikes, canes, bulbs , and generally keeping the plants tidy...….the orchids take up less bench space when not sprawling all over...
Brilliant Rick, more please! I'm gonna try and make a ring to contain a large Dendrobium nobile that is unruly and takes up far too much space Ha ha :)
That was a great video. I'd love to learn more about making different types of pot clips that you use and make. The camer girl did a good job too! Thanks for making this can you do the rhyzome clip too?
Hi Rick and Jan. Best wishes to you. You guys are awesome. Thank you for taking your time to show us the great step by step skills. I love how you make them. I have never work with any tools and don’t know the difference of the pliers. After watching your show, I definitely want to make some clips for my plants. What is the brand pliers you’re using? I want to avoid ordering the wrong ones.
Great video.....going get my camera man to watch this and make me some.....lol.....did you just figure how to do these.....clever guy....... I want more videos, keep them coming, hubby will make me some.
Excellent tutorial Rick, and natural filming skills from camera girl! I love to tinker but lack an engineer's spatial imagination, so end up taking a looong time/multiple attempts to get it right. Luckily Debbie has learned to be patient with my early botched attempts. Your excellent video has just shortcut the whole process for me, thanks again. Now just have to work out what wire I can get hold of down here... NZ is famous for its' No.8 wire - too thick I think (about #6 AWG). I've got plenty of 2.5mm fencing wire lying around (#10 AWG?) but again probably too thick and it's very difficult to bend. Something to do with the label 'high tensile' (?) as the thicker stuff seems softer...
Very clear and concise instructions! So much easier to do when you're not having to hold the camera, huh? 😊 Did you drill all the holes in the side of the clay pot next to the one you're demonstrating with the wire? What type of drill bit did you use? I like the added holes for air flow/drainage. 😊
thank you Caroline....love having 2 hands....lol.....the 4" pot...yes I drilled holes in it....was a bit for drilling ceramic, and glass......$15....and some running water...
Rick L I'll have to make a trip to Lowe's...I bought a pretty ceramic orchid pot like the one you used in your transplanting demonstration video (the one that your wife loved!) and it doesn't have a hole in the bottom. I guess whoever designed these pots didn't grow orchids, Lol!
Awesome job its would have bin so much easier to copie from this video than your first and you have the round ones too me thinking i made a new one whahhaha. I shaped it the same around a smaller pot. Yes please. Its costed me an hour in a drug fogg to think someying up you made perfectly already. I'll link to this on in my discription. You did amazing i need.to figure out to make that for a.plastic pot...a bit off help cant .hurt 😇 sooooo cool ty so much it goes right in the potstand potclip playlist ❤ hi camera girl YOUR amazing 2 darling doing great. Much love from my house to yours I put the link to this video in mine credit where credit is due...
You make it look so easy... please go on, that is very useful, whenever we want to make one of the clips we just have to come to the video and follow the step by step. Waiting for more, please. Is it the same for plastic pots or is there of different technic for them? Also give my thanks to the cameta girl.
Hi Rick I have a cuestión for you, I have a mexipedium that has two runners growing out of the pot, may be you can help me with an idea to make a semi cicle or a pot added to the pot 😂😂 thank you !
I spend too much money buying these clips. Your video makes it look so easy. I know I can copy what you did, but the hard part is bending and twisting the wire, specially the thick ones. Is there a tool that can do the bending instead of using pliers? I've been watching your videos and I found them more educational compare to others who claim they are the "How to" videos. Thank you for making them. I hope your wife is doing well. She seemed to be doing a good job being a camera woman.
Nice I am a tool guy but it's nice to have a blue print so to speak. Am jealous I want a camera woman. A camera man would work it would just be easer to look a the camera with a woman behind it lol.
Thank you, I did my first two clips for cattleyas today. I found only 12 guage wire, I think it works fine. Addicted to your videos, so much information to digest. Thank you and hope you feel good at this Easter day....

thanks Sue Lee.......I will do some more...
😃Wow, I can't believe I almost bought those🥴. I'm really grateful you pointed that out to us.😌
You’re welcome
Good afternoon Rick & cámara girl, you are a genius. Please more that looks fabulous and very steady.
Thanks Rick for showing the way of making the clips. I really admire your methodology of orchids growing
too kind Mary.........i like thinks easy, simple.........but explained.....
Just watched your video. Just in time for the spring fever of wanting to plant. But this is Tennessee and it was warm yesterday and it's raining today could be frost know we never know. But thank you I enjoy watching your videos and learn even though as you say you may ramble your Rambles have nuggets of wisdom.
Great diy planting...always luv new creation.....
Excellent. I really need these ringed ones. You're the best Rick. Thank you.
Thank you for sharing the info on the wire you use, ceiling tie wire! I am making a list and when we go into town next week I am picking up lava rock, wire, and I've found the clay pots you use at home depot. I love the idea of making custom-made supports and hangers! I appreciate these videos, learning the how-tos
........those wire supports are the best thing for keeping the plants anchored well, and growing them upright....
Absolutely. 30 yrs ago clay pots and osmunda was all we used - with clips like this but not made by me - and they stayed in those pots until the growths were several over the side - made large speciman plants by not disturbing so much and tons of flowers. I’m archiving your clips demos to make some of my kwn.. As usual.. great and thanks.
Aha! This is the one I was looking for! Thank you and your "camera girl" for making this so easy, step by step.
I really appreciate you taking the time to share your knowledge on making the clips. Something that I am going to make for my orchids. Kindly share more tutorials. Looking forward to seeing more. Thank you very much.
We miss you. I hope you and Jan are healthy. Merry Christmas !!we are anxiously awaiting your precious pearls of knowledge.
I’m new to your channel and now I’m hooked! You have some amazing skills and tips, I can’t stop watching. I’m new at orchids and you are inspiring me to grow more and more. Thank you.
wonderful words CC......thank you, we are both new to orchids.....and can learn together..
Thankyou so much for sharing your skill. I was trying to work out how I could put some pots on our property fences so that I can put some flowers for the bees and insects. And being high enough the wallabies can't eat them. You have made my day.:)
Wow! You remind me of my dad, great with DIYs stuff. Thanks for sharing. Great vid.

Brilliant. I have to make a few of these. I can’t wait to get started! Thanks Rick and Camera Girl. :)

Thank You Jessica.....so glad to hear you made them.....perfect!
You are awsome Rick, love this, thank you👍🏼🍀

Great video, especially for the tools and safety measures. Thanks for showing the difference in pliers.
These clips are sooooo COOL!!!!!! The twists and turns of the wires are like jewelry making. Hey you should sell these :)
Thanks..you 're a very good teacher..I will do this for my cattleyas..regards from Malaysia😊
Thank You my friend.......enjoy your garden.
Very useful, Rick! Thanks for sharing.
Brilliant! I enjoyed this video as I was trying to figure out to to make these clips 3 weeks ago. Glad I found this. Now your channel is one of the channels to watch during my morning coffee. Greetings from the Philippines. Cheers!
That would be perfect for my Cattlaya. I will have to try and make myself one. Thanks Rick! :)
Fantastic ideas and clear instructions. Thank you.
Hi Rick! Very helpful...it's so much better to make your own clips like this. It's also nice to see how these things can be made, I'm not a tool type person but I know someone who is...aka my camera man! :) Thanks to camera girl, we appreciate her help! Greetings from Tennessee!

Excellent video. I’m going to make some!!
I put one on every pot, they never fail to come in handy thru out the plants growing life....for holding spikes, canes, bulbs , and generally keeping the plants tidy...….the orchids take up less bench space when not sprawling all over...
Excellent video! My project for this weekend
Love it! Thanks :) You're such a handyman :)
Brilliant Rick, more please! I'm gonna try and make a ring to contain a large Dendrobium nobile that is unruly and takes up far too much space Ha ha :)
Great video! More please!
That was a great video. I'd love to learn more about making different types of pot clips that you use and make. The camer girl did a good job too! Thanks for making this can you do the rhyzome clip too?
ye Mary.....I sure will.
Rick,found this video on clips!!! Got the wire and off I Go! Much thanks
Fred
thank you Fred.......these clips will help your plants grow .........I never pot one with out a clip anymore....
Hi Rick and Jan. Best wishes to you. You guys are awesome. Thank you for taking your time to show us the great step by step skills. I love how you make them. I have never work with any tools and don’t know the difference of the pliers. After watching your show, I definitely want to make some clips for my plants. What is the brand pliers you’re using? I want to avoid ordering the wrong ones.
Please make more videos like this one. 💞🐾🤗
will do.....Thanks Sherry
So clever....thanks for sharing.
Great video.....going get my camera man to watch this and make me some.....lol.....did you just figure how to do these.....clever guy....... I want more videos, keep them coming, hubby will make me some.
thanks Debra.......yes...always been able to picture something in my head and make it....engineer/ designer in me.....lol
Excellent tutorial Rick, and natural filming skills from camera girl! I love to tinker but lack an engineer's spatial imagination, so end up taking a looong time/multiple attempts to get it right. Luckily Debbie has learned to be patient with my early botched attempts. Your excellent video has just shortcut the whole process for me, thanks again.
Now just have to work out what wire I can get hold of down here... NZ is famous for its' No.8 wire - too thick I think (about #6 AWG). I've got plenty of 2.5mm fencing wire lying around (#10 AWG?) but again probably too thick and it's very difficult to bend. Something to do with the label 'high tensile' (?) as the thicker stuff seems softer...
Thank you so much for the tutorial, been waiting for this video.
Fabulous!
Brilliant!!!!
Can't wait to try this. How would you do a rhizome clip? Thanks for sharing! Happy growing!
will do another show. with a few more...
Very clear and concise instructions! So much easier to do when you're not having to hold the camera, huh? 😊 Did you drill all the holes in the side of the clay pot next to the one you're demonstrating with the wire? What type of drill bit did you use? I like the added holes for air flow/drainage. 😊
thank you Caroline....love having 2 hands....lol.....the 4" pot...yes I drilled holes in it....was a bit for drilling ceramic, and glass......$15....and some running water...
Rick L I'll have to make a trip to Lowe's...I bought a pretty ceramic orchid pot like the one you used in your transplanting demonstration video (the one that your wife loved!) and it doesn't have a hole in the bottom. I guess whoever designed these pots didn't grow orchids, Lol!
this is very helpful. Thank you!
Very keen to see many more please
at Rick's house it's Bing Bang Boom and it's done and Cookies there recording the action!!! 👉👵👈
Wow, after two try's, I have my clip! So So cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Take care, Rita
lol......that a girl......took me longer than 2....for my 1st one...
Awesome job its would have bin so much easier to copie from this video than your first and you have the round ones too me thinking i made a new one whahhaha. I shaped it the same around a smaller pot.
Yes please. Its costed me an hour in a drug fogg to think someying up you made perfectly already. I'll link to this on in my discription. You did amazing i need.to figure out to make that for a.plastic pot...a bit off help cant .hurt 😇
sooooo cool ty so much it goes right in the potstand potclip playlist ❤ hi camera girl YOUR amazing 2 darling doing great. Much love from my house to yours
I put the link to this video in mine credit where credit is due...
lol.....thanks Rose......will make another showing some more clips and for plastic pots..
Hello again Camera Girl.
I think you are his leading lady in this movie.🤗
so sweet.
You make it look so easy... please go on, that is very useful, whenever we want to make one of the clips we just have to come to the video and follow the step by step. Waiting for more, please.
Is it the same for plastic pots or is there of different technic for them?
Also give my thanks to the cameta girl.
Thank you very much.....I will show the plastic pot clips as well....
High IQ, very good video thank you for this. One question are you using stainless or galvanized wires? Curious.
Great video. I need to make many clips for my hoyas. What’s the name of the pliers youre using?
great video! Thank you!! looking to make some similar stuff. Are you sure that's 16 gague?? Looks more like 12 gague.
Incredible, thanks so much
Hi Rick I have a cuestión for you, I have a mexipedium that has two runners growing out of the pot, may be you can help me with an idea to make a semi cicle or a pot added to the pot 😂😂 thank you !
Thank you - a wonderful help.
What brand of pliers are you using? I see so many smaller less sturdy in my husband's tool drawer
Rick did you drill your Clay pots? and I LOVED the vid ...TY and TY Camera Girl
........that 4" clay pot I did.....yes.......Thank you so much.
Thanks Rick!
please show us how to make them all!!
I spend too much money buying these clips. Your video makes it look so easy. I know I can copy what you did, but the hard part is bending and twisting the wire, specially the thick ones. Is there a tool that can do the bending instead of using pliers? I've been watching your videos and I found them more educational compare to others who claim they are the "How to" videos.

Nice I am a tool guy but it's nice to have a blue print so to speak. Am jealous I want a camera woman. A camera man would work it would just be easer to look a the camera with a woman behind it lol.
.....lol....much easier...
I have also made my own clips....I use wire hangers and very hard to cut and bend so I will change wire and get what you use.
Nice Kim.....use what ya have..
Very interesting ,
Excellent Rick..BUT.. I use plastic pots here as terracotta loses moisture too fast in this climate.. Any way to make those clips for plastic pots?
Hopefully Rick will invent something @!!!!
hello Michael.........good to see you......yes I can show you a clip for plastic.....no worries.
That would be great..thanks
Hi Rick, what is the ideal size of the wire?
Maybe I can try that👍🏽
more please!
I need more more ! 😀
lol....thank you kindly.
Hi Rick, I want to make pot clips also. But when I looked at 16 gauge wire it was very thin and flimsy. Could the wire you are showing be 12 gauge?
they actually sell it in both sizes...….either will work ok.....it gets stiffer as its bent and worked....
Thanks, Rick.
what size wire is that
Thank you❣️
4:29 she didnt get that part, it confused me a little....
who's that camera girl
my wife Jan.
I made it...I am a happy as a Cheshire cat...LOL it is the simple things....
lmao...........Im proud for ya.......it really is.....I love it when I can do these things...
I had my sweet hubby watch and he groaned... but he watched🙂
heh heh heh..........
"If I can do this, everybody should" Err not the technically impaired ;-)
...lol......you'll do fine I bet...
No really my RO machine sat in the box two weeks before I got it to work and only after Roger linked me to a video ;-)
Very interesting ,
Very interesting ,
