Thank for that tutorial. I thoroughly enjoyed and learned a lot

[@metcalfmills5679]

Thank you!

I never saw my dad doing that kind of work, and I always wondered what those tools were used for. My one major frustration was that Dad made a fabulous go-fer out of me, but because I was daughter instead of son, he wouldn’t teach me how to do the work. He kept telling me that I should marry someone who knew how. It never happened… Please teach your daughters as much as possible. Knowledge is never wasted.

[@metcalfmills5679]

Thanks for sharing Vicki. I teach my girls everything I can. No it sure is not! Thank you

I second the teach your girls! My husband is great at being Mr. Fix-It, but he works a 60-80 hour a week job. That leaves me to do all the traditional "man" farm jobs plus being mom, wife, homemaker, mother & teacher to our kids and myself. I've had to teach myself to run chainsaws and yard equipment, all the garden stuff, all the animal care, basic woodworking tools and skills, plumbing & electrical basics, putting up fences, building animal housing, vet care, etc. And knowing about and having the right tools is not only time saving, but can be life saving because it seems like bad weather or emergencies happen when my husband is at work. I may not be able to physically do the muscle stuff my husband can, but knowing how to use tools & tractors, pulleys, straps/chains and power tools is crucial, though the job takes me 2-3x longer than it would him. :-) Hubby was wondering why I was watching your concrete video. I looked him in the eye and said because you're not always here and sometimes I need to fix things. He laughed. It's so true. He can't wait till he can retire and be home.

Inherited one from my late father. I didn't remember him using it while building our off grid cabin in Montana (in 70s). Of all the items I acquired, this one baffled me. Thank you for the vid showing its usage.. and the memories of days gone past.

Look forward we watch a lot of your videos. Thanks for all your great knowledge. Have a great weekend.

[@metcalfmills5679]

Thank you so much TPaw! I hope y’all do as well! Thank you for commenting, it helps!

[@wendyc.5769]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge on this. If you know the easiest way to use t post clips, I’d like to see how you do it in slow motion please. I’m about to move back to the old family land and I’m going to need some fencing ideas! Please and thank you

[@metcalfmills5679]

I will see what I can do, next weeks fun fact Friday may be a good time. See you then, and thank you!

[@PermaPasturesFarm21]

Excellent information as always!

[@metcalfmills5679]

Thanks PPF!

[@steveruby2120]

I know what you mean about letting those twisters rust away. In my day I've tied double mat steel for spillways and bridge all the down to basement walls and footers. Don't miss it at all. God bless.

[@metcalfmills5679]

Thanks for sharing, God bless you as well!

[@joseph78e4n6]

thank you for this video. because not every day this is used .. 👍

[@glennfelpel9785]

Ha Justin, what a salesman you are. I too have tied a lot of reinforcing in my day too. Around here the ties get used quite a bit in the garden too. Our tomato cages get tied to fence T-posts and the ties are the easiest way to go. But sometimes the store bought 6 inch ties are just not long enough. So we took to cutting our own and bending a loop on the ends. Works a treat, thanks for the video and referring back to the good old times working with concrete.

[@metcalfmills5679]

Ha ha! Thanks for watching Glenn! That’s a good idea. Glad you enjoyed, my friend.

[@Marian-eh5jd]

I'm from deep south Texas and a senior. We called the tie twister a "pigtail". Thank you for your videos, Justin.

That was very interesting and cool! Thanks for sharing Justin

[@metcalfmills5679]

Glad you enjoyed!

[@LeaC816]

That threaded tool is pretty clever. I am also impressed you operated that thing one handed! LOL Thanks for sharing. I had no idea I’d be googling why 16” is the magic number rebar needs to overlap while drinking my coffee this morning!

[@metcalfmills5679]

Lol, Happy Friday Lea!

[@Outtahide540]

Good one handed work, holding camera with one and working with the other. Thanks for the info

[@metcalfmills5679]

I gotta tell ya, I knew nothing about any of this before. Every video you put out adds knowledge and skills to my repertoire. Now, can you teach me about plumbing?

[@metcalfmills5679]

Glad you enjoyed RR. Hope it helps! It anything comes up I will do it!

[@tagladyify]

Real informative video. Thank you.

[@metcalfmills5679]

Glad you enjoyed Tracy

[@lindaarmstrong4661]

Very interesting fff, Justin! That second tool was amazing. I wouldn't be surprised to learn you invented it.🛠 By the way, the background of your shots where you're talking in all your videos is artistic and beautiful. I enjoy watching every video!

[@metcalfmills5679]

Thank you so much and Linda! I am so glad you enjoy. Thank you for the feedback!

I worked mostly in structural steel but I helped the concrete guys do this type of work many times and I always thought using coils of tie wire and pliers was kind of cumbersome and time consuming. The slick little tool could sure speed things up.

[@auntym4729]

Did you make those tools? Cool beans, off grid tools.

[@metcalfmills5679]

Nope these I did not. Thanks!

[@kmandrews_]
