How to Repair Broken Barbed Wire Without Crimps

How to repair a broken strand of barbed wire without steel crimps.
I'm in the process of recording and editing a small series on barbed wire fence.
If anyone has any more ideas or suggestions (on any subject) I'd be glad to shoot video, after this pandemic blows over, or come over and record you explaining the process.
This series is meant to be part of a Small Acreage education project that OSU Extension is doing for new and beginning farmers, but who knows even the most seasoned veteran might learn some tips and tricks.

I use the same technique for splicing with the exception that I finish the open wraps with another three or four tight wraps on each wire.

Thank you! This will help alot!

Welcome!

Correct me if I'm wrong but your first tie is wrong. By taking your wire over on the right side and under on the left, the tie can in unscrew when strained. If you take both ties over the top they can only tighten when strained.

please what is the brand of the tool to fix wire
thank you

[@stupidperformance7825]

Thank y’all my boss sucks

[@ginojaco]

Volume is fine, but the fixing technique is glacially slow. Get an Australian fence repair tool, a modern and better version of the old Texas tool. 👍

This rap method works great for old loser wire but probably wouldn’t hold with high tension I’m thinking?

[@kaycountyosuextension692]

I can confirm that this wrap holds tension. Been using it for years. Certainly not as good as brand new unbroken wire, but it will hold sufficient tension.

Very good demonstration
Both methods used are very good - have high strength and work on old and new wire.
When splicing some will do 5 lazy wraps followed by 3 tight wraps - I find both methods work well.
The knot - were I come from is called Donald's Knot

Hello, your recorded volume was very low

[@kaycountyosuextension692]

I've viewed on multiple devices, and if I turn the volume nearly all the way down I can still hear clearly. I apologize if it's not coming out clear on your end, but I do believe the sound problems are not with the video I have uploaded. Good Luck.

Sound is
perfect for me.
