I recently bought 50 acres with barbed-wire perimeter fence in need of a few repairs. I’ve been watching lots of videos on how to do that and this one is the best I’ve seen!!
I have used the two loop method for 36 years, and it has worked!!! But I will admit your way does LOOK a lot better!!
FINALLY... Someone who knows how to splice barbed wire. What we usually did was grab the center of the splice with a fencing tool to hold the wires, and put the wires to be twisted in the pipe-gripe "hole" of the pliers. Then, holding onto the pliers' handle, we twisted the pliers around the splice which created a much tighter splice because the fulcrum point of the wire was next to the splice. The pliers did all the "hard" wire twisting action resulting in a very tight wire wrap.
My grandfather built miles and miles of fence in southwest Texas , he taught me the same method during the summers I spent helping him, great tip and nice memory. :)
Great information!! I will be teaching my grandson and granddaughter tomorrow. We will be fixin’ my fence the right way. Thanks
LOVE this technique!!! I am going out tomorrow morning and redo a bunch of splices I made...I knew there had to be a better way....
My grandmother called your method the "R.E.C. (Rural Electric Coop) tie" or "Lineman's weave". Solid video and don't let the naysayers get you down.
Daniel, I have been watching your videos for several years now. I recently purchased a couple of hundred acres of land in east Texas and have several wire breaks in my fences that require mending. Since I'm pretty much a city boy (except for many summers spent on my uncles ranch in west Texas) and I needed a primer on fixing fences. I thought of you and performed an internet search and found this video from four years ago. Thank you so much for sharing your life experiences with us. God bless.
Where are you at in East Texas? I repair computers, cars, tractors, diesel machinery, and even fences in my spare time.
Thanks for the tip.That looks a lot better than the first way.This old dog loves to learn new tricks.
Needed to splice a barbed wire fence today. I watched a few videos that just had people talking and not doing a thing. I have used the loot method for years and never really liked it. I'm heading out to the pasture right now and I know I'm going to enjoy splicing my barbed wire this way. Thank you for useful information that I can actually apply.
Daniel, thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I was all set to go buy a crimper and... But I like the Y-joint you showed. Clean fast and best for me ... simple.
That's exactly how my Grandfather taught me to splice it! Great video for those that don't know how to do the proper way!
Have watched many you tube fence repairs. I like yours the best.
Will give this a try fixing fence,Love that ending music of video.Very similar to Stoney Ridge Farmer music.
Used this to improve fencing jobs for my friends and it works SO well. Thanks!!!
Thanks Daniel. I try not to use barb wire except in cases like you are using it. When I initially purchased my homestead, the entire property was fenced in with a three strand barbed wire fence. That was one of the first things I removed. I saved the barbed wire and gave it to a neighbor.
Great tip! I have been doing the loop method for some time now....this will change, cheers!
I splice wire close to the way you say not to do it. But in 25 years of doing it that way i have never had to repair one of my splices. I repaired miles upon miles of fence but never one of my splices.
Modified "Western Union Splice". Lineman back in the 40-50s used this on copper primary wire, Held great and didn't slip. Good Idea .
I work on a bison ranch. I use this technique as often as I can. It works! Bison are hell on fence lines. They see loose or shoddy work, they test it and 99% of the time they bust through
No fluff! Straight to it.
Thank you!
Ok... Superfencer here! Lol 45 yrs!!!
That splice is really nice and is better than the price of rice. Lololol
The loop can be made much smaller and much more appealing to the eye, it will hold for decades and decades just fine. There are several methods used in different parts of the world. I do like your splice though. Nice and clean look
Going out the door to use your technique. Tks for sharing.
Thats the same way we do all ours at work, its surprising how many we come across the wrong way. Hahaha I think that was me calling you at the end 😂
It was you calling and texting!
Keeping It Dutch way to ruin the video........ or did you make the video better hmm
*#*$*#$_" dutch
You are the stalker. Don't play with law enforcement.
I know it's kinda off topic but does anybody know of a good place to stream new tv shows online ?
Very well thought out. Thanks!
Everybody builds fence like Grandpa did. The method you demo looks like a Western Union splice. Been used since telegraph wires were strung across the country. Thanks for the demo
I'll be fixing some fence in two weeks. This was a very helpful tip.
It's refreshing seeing someone do fence the right way. I've seen so many hookie videos over the years, lol! (I'm still waiting for them to show the update vids of redoing all their repairs and splices.) Oh, tell Dutch to quit texting you while you're trying to shoot a video! Have a good one!
You must be talking about the fence we "Paid" someone to put up...2 acres...SMH! 😊
Who would dislike this video? Thank you for the tip!
Loopers who are butt hurt to be called out for doing it wrong for years.
Aloha from Hawaii Daniel!!! Mahalo Nui Loa for your easy tip on splicing wire. When you started to show me the wrong way to so splice wire I was like that's exactly how I splice my wire! Now I know how to do it the right way thanks to you! And knowing is half the battle. I will pass this on to my dad and sons as we work our ranch here on the Big Island of Hawaii! Aloha!
Thanks for the knowledge Daniel . Now , back to work .
Lived in a dairy farm and built a lot of fence, really like the way you showed
100% Correct... that IS the way....Good Video..
Now you tell me. We have been doing it wrong all these years. Yes, we have been doing it the first way, dud. It's a good thing our cows don't try to get out. LOL Thank you Daniel for the fence building tips.
I build fence for a living and use the first method. I can pull up to a mile at one time and have never had one break. When I tried a similar way as what you show I have pulled the wire in half before on long runs. I have fences I built over 25 years ago that are in great condition.
I've been splicing the first way for years and I finally had one break on me the other day, luckily nobody was hurt but it's definitely a weak point
😀😀😀😀 I thought only old people forget what they are doing, while they are, I forgot where I was, oh, never mind.....great job. 👍👍👍👍
Hi Dan, That method is similar to splicing line (rope). Dairy farm grandfathers taught me.
Brother, AWESOME Video great lesson! Thank you and Best Regards!
That was the best barbed wire video I've ever watched
Good video, a suggestion slide the barbs off the ends your working with.
How did you know 9 months ago that we would need this video today..bahahaha! Thank you Daniel Fencewalker...Jedi fence master. Thanking you I am. 👍
Nice trick thanks I’ll try it
Happy Saturday Arms family.
That works well for thick gauge wire.Try to do that splice with gaucho wire. Which is a lot of people here in south Texas use.
Ive been fixing fence for 45 years.... the first slice works best hands down ! Moreover if there is a loose spot in the fence its easy to undo the splice and tighten it at the same splice. They dont come undone......nor kink and break the wire. Easy done with a " Golden Rod " fence tightener ! Your way is ok......but over I feel more time consuming....but it still works !
Totally agree, We have miles of old fence in really rough terrain with cattle pushing against it and don't have time for fancy pants splices. 😀
@@easystreet123 Yes.....I have 60 yr old fences.....some of the original splices as hes showing first here.
Great addition with the blooper reel
Thank you very much.
I like the figure 8 the best.
Watching this I'm wondering when you are going to fix the fence between pastures.
Very helpful. Thank you.
good looking fence you have done a great job making it look nice
You have really had some useful information on this fence job. Thanks!
Thank you for the info. may talk about your land lay out and fenced area
That's a great tip! Have you ever tired the Texas Fence Fixer? I bought one for my father-in-law for Christmas. It actually makes fixing fences enjoyable.
Great demonstration Daniel! Loved the out takes! Lol!
Another good one. Thank you. We used to the same thing back on the old farm.
I was pulling wire yesterday, about 200 yards. I broke the red brand 12 ga wire. I spliced it by overlapping and twisting and it slipped loose. Finally, I looped it and it held-up but, like you say, it looks ugly and won't hold as long. Next time, I'll try this method.
Great job, I like your technique
I use this method, but I also made me a splicing tool out of bolt cutters. Both ways work great.
Yeah I do something like that but I don't separate the wires good I will try that tomorrow building fence tomorrow I'll give you idea try thanks one day I'm going to make videos building fence I see a lot of mistakes well not mistakes but I got better ways easier then a lot of people I see building fence
That is how we did it too when doing fence around the pasture area..
Someone taught you well.... That is absolutely the best way.. It will last for years to come...
What wonderful information you are sharing again. I had to giggle at your aggravation at your phone.
Good idea
Thanks great tip and it looks way better.
Excellent demonstration.
Good tip ! 👍🏻 Ain’t nobody got time for janky lookin’ barbed wire fence !! 😃
Thanks!
That loop splice is standard for rusty old slightly brittle barb wire and older fence repairs and it will not break or slip over time! as yours will!
I think that method is the best, although the twin loop you said is incorrect is perfectly fine. Other than aesthetics it holds about as well as any other method.
Love these how to videos .
Awsome video great to see someone doing it right
Good tutorial!
Great tip!
Thank you sir cows broke the fence and got loose so I have to go fix it this was really useful thank you so much
What brand of gloves do you wear when repairing fences on your spread?
I HAVE a crimping tool already, for working on aircraft cable, but it point loads the wire right at the crimp, the method shown here does not. Going back out in a few minutes to start splicing, thanks!
Im a cowboy. I've been splicing two loops together forever. Farmers can splice them any tf way they want. Mine have held for over years
Durrr
Could you make a video on the process of splicing on actual barbed wire fence along with tools to use, pliers, fence stretcher? etc. etc. Thanks.
That is some good information... thank you 🙏 we are getting ready to do some fencing!!!
Aw sweet, thank you!!!
Good job on the tip man! I see a lot of people that do it the first way! lol works good in a hurry though haha
Do you have any video on splicing rolled fence? I have some non climb need to join together
Thank you
Clear.
Nice dog. Thanks for this!
Hey thanks a lot man! Now I can do it the correct way.
He'll yeah thanks!!
Lol. Just started my first fence project and the one splice I did was exactly the way you said not to. Good video. Short and to the point. Just the way I like it.
Good job. The loop splice with rust and break at the loop every time.
THATS A GOOD IDEA I HOPE EVERYBODY SEEN THAT
That's really handy to know! Thanks for sharing.
Lol cowboy loop twist is just a batch job on a fence your planing on rebuilding.
That is good to know. Thanks for sharing eh :) LOL should show more of your bloopers that was great
Could have used this tip about a month ago good tip thanks . P.S. thanks for calling my fix crap lol 😂
that is called the linemans splice it spreads the stress out on the wire
Thank I’m learning so much on your project it’s going to help so much. Give us a up date on the young man that wants to be like you I gave him a little message just wondering if it helped
The channel has been deleted.
OK, so how do you put tension on this?
The best part of this video is when you cut the ends off you held them in your hand and didn't let them call to the ground. Bugs me when people leave their trimmed ends on the ground.
Gaucho wire is also the best in my opinion. I’ve tried them all
Ehhhh... I really don't like Gaucho wire! lol. But then again I haven't used any in over 10 years so it might be better now days.
Hi I’m a new subscriber I love all your videos I been doing marathons of them and love each one I have watched... do you have a video or can you make one on how to know when your goats are about to kid” the signs” thank you have a good day
That's one video that I haven't made yet! Thanks for watching.
