It becomes easier and easier every time you try it, having a kink at every turning point makes snapping the wire with ease, since bending wire creates heat allowing you to snap the wire, rotating it towards the post. The method is much more safer, because it leaves a smooth edge. When using wire cutters/pliers to cut it, leaves a sharp edge
Takes awhile to develop calluses. Start with leather gloves, then cut the fingers off the gloves. Then go to thin fingerless gloves. Or just bleed for a couple weeks until the calluses make themselves.
Don't need it. You can use it but the six wraps are faster. The termination knot is only needed around fixed points that can't rotate, like posts. The over under first part of the knot balances the unraveling forces so it won't unwind when you put tension on it.
Yes! When tightened, the knot will slide funny, then collapse. This type of knot balances out the stress points, allowing it to take a higher strain without breaking.
im probably too late but this knot tied in this wire will easily hold hundreds of kgs so yes, but i would recommend 3.15mm or 4/4.5mm high tensile wire (mild steel will just stretch and sag) as the 2,5mm HT will sag and stretch with time in your use case. id also recommend sleeving it in something like polyurethane pipe as the galv/aluminium coatings will rub off on the clothing
Nice Technic... End result looks just like we do. Except we don't end up with a foot of wasted wire every time we twist to make a connection. Just guessing, either you aren't paying for the materials, or you own the wire company??? No matter, still a good video!! thanks!
Just use a wireline twist, less breakage from the kinking of the wire, I can see many weak points in your method. Trust me it works far better, you don’t see down hole failures.
this is an old comment but to any seeing this ignore the above comment, what hes talking about wont even hold 10% (terminationknot is 80%+) of the strength of the wire let alone the 100/150kgf the wires need to be strained to or a half tone bull hitting the wire. how Hugh demonstrates to terminate wire in this video is the industry standard and the only strong and practical method of terminating wire, with the exception of bridling wires over a stay but thats another conversation and uses a form of figure 8 knot.

@@thewhitesheepknight7571 won’t hold ya say fella? That’s why they use the technic for down hole in the oil patch where a failure can result in millions of dollars in down time. Stay in your pasture you decrepit fool!
@@letserb well your comment seems to prove you more the fool for trying to force methods for different use cases and industries and i imagine different materials too i am curious though, i interpreted your comment to mean the old lazy looped wire twisted around itself, which has no hold and will just unravel, in terms of the kinking issue there a important points of detail and finesse like how tight to bend the wire and the fact of how no single point of the knot holds the entire strain
@@thewhitesheepknight7571 rather funny how I have done commercial fencing to government standards. Funny how when there was questions about construction standards, the government engineers come to us for direction and clarifications on how to do said work. What I am getting from you is some old fool spewing bullshit because you have no clue how to fence.
@@thewhitesheepknight7571 when you babble about tensions and make no mention of how climate changes that, tells me all I need to know about how little clue you have about fencing fella. Go spend a few months doing a half mile or better a day with 2 people and then get back to,e about what you know LOL maybe with some real experience, you might actually sound like you have a fucking clue.
