Great tutorial. Thanks for making it. I'm not an A&P but as an aircraft owner, I do what maintenance is legally allowed under FAR 43. I cringe thinking about some of the shoddy safety wiring that I've done over the years that a qualified A&P has had to look at when they go over my airplane at annual inspection time. You've inspired me to start practicing to be better!

My opinion is this, it doesn't have to look pretty, and it definitely doesn't have to be perfect. As long as it's holding the bolts in the right direction and tight its good with me.

I was struggling with safety wiring in ame school and came across your video - really nice and thank you!

Thank you so much for watching. I've done a bunch of videos on getting your A&P as well. I Myself teach at a 147 school.

good video, one of the best on tie wire I have found.

The part about how tight you can make your wire by hand distance at 3:30 is gold!!

Great video, I’m in the air force, at my tech school learning to be an aircraft electrician, and this was one of the more basic stuff we started learning. I always like to practise basic safety wires on bolts or cannon plugs.

Nice bro! Fellow USAF crew chief in training here. Were you at Sheppard 362 squadron for E&E?

So, possibly dumb question but what’s the best method to determine how much wire you need?

You will hate me for this, you kinda just get use to eye balling it.

No, do not accept that answer. What i suggest you do is when you get free time one day, measure just how much shorter your wire gets from a point after the proper twist. Remember what fraction of inch you lose for each gauge of wire. It can definitely be expressed as a % of the thickness since that's the only variable. From that point you can always say "after 6 twists the wire will be exactly 1/8" shorter. That's what you will aim to overshoot the drilled hole by as you loosely loop the wire into the correct pattern before you lock your plier down and start twisting. Life is math.

Great job. Now do it through a 4x4" opening on two 3/8 bolts facing directly away from you. 😂

Also it's over your head and just slightly shorter then you are, so you have to bend your knees for 20 mins.

Do the plier jaws need to be flat to prevent wire damage?

It helps, the more expensive pliers sometimes have rubber inserts

There is not really such thing as FAA approved tools. All the regulation says is that you must use the tools and techniques acceptable to the manufacturer, and that your measurement tools should be calibrated.

You can install clamps on your workpeice to prevent it from moving while you demonstrate safetying.

Good video but why on earth did you move the camera when you did the “Kelly twist”? Couldn’t see anything worthwhile. You might demonstrate that again…

@brycebuildsit Жыл бұрын

I felt that demonstrating the hand motion was more important then the base of the wire where it goes into the bolt. I'm watching it back now months later and can see how seeing both might be advantages.
