This thing is fantastic. I aim to make one of course. Here in Sweden,in the good old days, people would travel the country (by bicycle or on foot often) with a few hand tools and a long spool of wire, making numerous useful objects to be pedalled from door to door. I have a small collection of such items now and Im always on the lookout. I think the reason the clamp doesn't become loose despite the wood shrinking when drying is because it is "pre-stressed." The steel is stretched beyond its normal length so any srinkage will allow the steel to shrink too, as it attempts to return to its unsprung state. The strinkage in the drying wood clearly never exceeds the shrinkage capacity in the steel wire. Cheers Max!
@FelonyVideos4 жыл бұрын
The reason the wire clamps stay tight is because the wire is strong enough to absolutely prevent the wood underneath it from expanding, and the wire never gets near it's yield point. It should stay tight until the wood literally rots from beneath it. Very cool video!
@trespire4 жыл бұрын
@Felony Videos That might be, but I suspect it's not the whole reason. The wire is installed under tension, that's pre-tensioning. As you stated, the wire does not reach its yeald point, so it remains in the elastic deformation range. Albeit the wood also exhibits some elasticity, it's probably much less than 6 circumferences worth of wire length.
@Exgrmbl4 жыл бұрын
eh, i don't think it prevents the wood expanding. After all, expanding wood is powerful enough to split even the hardest stone. The likelier explanation i think is that the steel has enough elasticity to simply go along with it and then return to it's original tension.
@MrNerdHair4 жыл бұрын
@@Exgrmbl Stone is very strong in compression, but quite weak in tension. Expanding wood can forcing apart stone because it puts it in tension. Wire, on the other hand, is strong in tension and weak in compression (which is why you can coil it up, and why you have to pre-tension it with this tool to get a strong joint).
@jamesnobles14 жыл бұрын
To add to what others have said above there is also one other factor now that we understand compression and tension. The other areas swell and contract because of the capillary action in the wood but at those joints, the compression prevents capillary action by not allowing that compressed wood to absorb water. So you have enough joint tension to prevent water absorption at the joints. If stone joiners were made, they would crack under the expansion of the wood because they would not be continually and increasingly compressing the wood with more and more pressure like in nature to make stone over time. Making concrete pipe is the same principle because wire under tension is placed in concrete when wet. After it is dried, the wire is cut and edges are smoothed over. The result of combining those two opposite things make for one very strong composite. Wire has the tensile strength and stone has the compression strength so by putting compression on the wire to stretch it, it does what stone cannot do alone in this example and for you, it prevents the wood from absorbing water. Principles like this are the reason this type of joinery are still widely used on floating piers.
@levetbyck2 жыл бұрын
I don’t think I got any more wiser here. Just want to get this right: we are talking about how the very tip of the wire can keep its tension without deforming and at some point (maybe at a second) straighten out and lose its grip, right? Edit: 2:57 ok, I see where I went wrong (the topic is really about how wood doesn’t expand while compressed - or how wet wood will expand and make the clamps even tighter)

Marvelous tool! Much admiration to you, as well. This clamping method is used by orthopaedic surgeons and hand surgeons, but not very often. Most do not know how to use this. However, this clamping method allows a construct to maintain "rigid fixation". This term has to do with how forces are distributed across the beams. It isn't implied that something is "rigid" simply because it doesn't move. When you place these clamps across the beams, it causes so much compression of the beam surfaces against one another, that the frictional force is so great that any other forces should be "absorbed" by the beams, not the clamps (although the clamps could handle it, I'm sure). I think this is why the wires did not loosen. Steel has excellent tensile strength, so it doesn't like to stretch. The bent-over ends of the wires hold it together because, although they were bent, they end up having purely longitudinal tensile force exerted upon them and they tolerate this very well. In other words, once the clamp is tightened and set, it will never unravel (unless it breaks). To prove this, do the following: place several "circlage" (that's what this is called) clamp wires around a wooden stick or dal-rod. Then, throw the thing into a big fire. Make sure the fire is able to burn all the wood away, but not too hot to melt the steel. Once the wooden stick is ash, you will be left with the wire clamps that should still be intact AND the same size (not unraveled the slightest bit). The wood may swell underneath these clamps, and it would simply cause the clamps to "cut into" the wood more. The wood may contract underneath the clamps, but the clamps won't loosen. To put it another way, the wire ends that are bent back upon themselves are essentially forming an immovable weld--they are doing the exact same thing as if you actually welded the ends of the wire clamp together. But, that would be near impossible to do, unless you clamped them first with your tool. I'd argue that welding these clamps is pointless and not needed, unless they held up the roof to a cabin, etc. Even then, I don't think it would be needed. These clamps are like 360-degree circumferential compression screws (if there ever was such a thing) without the need for drilling. They hold things together through surface friction. This is very difficult to achieve. But, it is the strongest way to secure things. I'll make a prediction: anything held together by these clamps will break at a site other than the clamps before these clamps break or come undone. The clamp sites should be the area with the most strength by far.

It's a tool I want but...I'd need to test the clamp made of a soft wire before I could trust it. I guess that when you remove the friction then the joint is only as strong as the power needed to bend the wire. I know that there are large industrial steel ropes using friction to make a loop on the ends but the surface in contact is a meter long. Isnt the friction lower on a metal surface than on a wood? What about oiled or just wet metal? The wood is soft and unable to loosen it unlike the metal. When metal expands when being hot it wont stop it. If it was that good it would be used industrially instead of fasteners

I thought I had found KZbin heaven when I came to this channel, but no. KZbin heaven is his other channel, in Russian, which has many more wonderful projects and clever tricks, some of them not exactly safe... I am hoping that at some point those Russian-language videos will be transcribed into English so I may further enjoy them, but if not, I will be satisfied with what is available already in English. I now officially bestow the title "The Bushcrafting Lawyer" on Max Egorov (Advoko MAKES), with many thanks for letting all of us follow his incredibly creative woodland antics.

From what I know of wood expansion seems like the size of the timber being so small it's mostly harder core so not so much moisture off the top of my head. You can see moisture expansion charts by species and gauge how much each should move according to relative humidity my guess is your clamp tightens itself into the fresh lumber past the point it would move anyway. We used bandit clamps in the Navy to patch pipe leaks they're exactly like this but a specialized tool and system it all works on friction Many places use the bandit system to hold up signal lights and signs etc..

The wire clamp applies pressure 360 degrees around the entire circumference of the handle as in the scythe. Where as, a simple hole drilled thru the scythe and handle would only apply pressure on two sides of the handle, like a "sandwich." Moreover, the tensile strength of the wire comes into play as well, this is superior to that of a straight nail and rivet.
