I shudder when I make something and someone says, you should patent that. I am a big fan of open source and even if you post stuff and its not %100 right some one can put their two bobs worth in and we all learn from it. John

I was pretty certain that there was a way to replicate and improve on this overpriced ridiculousness and so I find myself here watching your video . Thank you much!

OMG. That's perfect at the side view. Now I can really see how it all works. Thanks. I'm hoping this will be exactly what I need by myself. Trying to get any man in San Diego, CA to help you paid or not is impossible! I have a dog pulley system because of no fenced yard. 1 main overhead wire that attaches each end to a pole, then each pole is anchored to a stucco wall. The one-side anchor is constantly loose and it's extremely difficult to push the pole taught, then tighten the wire at the same time with just 1 person. I'm using turnbuckles but they don't seem to work right. It's hard to use a ladder because the ground is wet and you sink down. At least every time I do this, I'm using a different technique, so I totally understand making your own tools. Thanks

The tie-wire twister is cool. I made one from an old 22mm spade bit in just a few mins with a grinder & cut-off wheel,. Makes neat ties every time. The pliers took a little longer and it's dusk now so I'll have to wait to try them out tomorrow. Thanks!
