TWISTING CLIPS ON METAL T POSTS - Woven wire field fence install

TITLE: TWISTING CLIPS ON METAL T POSTS - Woven wire field fence install.
Our woven wire field fence installation continues. In this video we show you how to use a T post clip bending tool for twisting clips onto metal T posts using Zareba T post wire clips. Securing T posts to the woven wire fence goes off without a hitch with this nifty tool.

The LaLa Farm channel is an informational and educational - how to - DIY - channel that follows the day to day activities happening around LaLa Farm. LaLa Farm is a small, family owned farm located just south of the Florida - Georgia line in Glen Saint Mary, FL (Northeast Florida). We focus on producing small scale marketable farm products, while moving toward food self-sufficiency for our own family. We breed Registered Kiko, Boer, and Nubian goats for market and meat. We raise our own poultry for meat and eggs. We grow seasonal fruits and vegetables and maintain a colony of bees for honey and pollination of our plants. The goal of our KZbin channel is to educate and share with our customers, followers, and anyone else interested in the homesteading or small farm lifestyle - our approach to managing the little slice of paradise we call LaLa Farm. Our channel, just like the farm, is truly a family endeavor. On any given week, you may see videos from any number of our family members depending upon the topic being discussed. Each of our family members has unique interests and skills that they bring to our farm. We would love to have you join us - the Robinson family - on our self-sufficiency and homesteading journey by subscribing to our channel.

OUR JOURNEY TO THE HOMESTEAD:
LaLa and I (Rick) grew up in a small agricultural region of New York State. LaLa was raised in a dairy farming family and I grew up in a small town. LaLa and I were high school sweethearts, who married in our late teens - and have now been married for over 30 years. We moved to Jacksonville, FL in the mid 1980’s, after being stationed there while serving in the U.S. Navy as an Interior Communications Electrician (I fixed phones). The plan was for LaLa to be a stay at home mom. In the early 90’s I was injured while serving on active duty and I was abruptly discharged from military service. By this time, we had two young children, and it never seemed like there was enough time in the day. LaLa went to work - I went to college - and we somehow found enough time for each other and our family. We always dreamed of having a small farm to raise our kids and our own food. For nearly 20 years, we lived in the city and watched as the city encroached in upon us and grew up around us. In the early 2000’s we moved from Jacksonville, FL to an adjacent and more rural area of Baker County, FL. We eventually found the perfect piece of land to realize our dream of owning our own farm, and in 2015, this dream became a reality - a reality that is today - The LaLa Farm.

How are you guys putting on your t post clips?

[@vicentedominic2753]

A tip : watch movies on Kaldrostream. I've been using it for watching all kinds of movies lately.

[@martincristian4337]

@Vicente Dominic yea, I have been watching on Kaldrostream for months myself =)

[@finncallan1087]

@Vicente Dominic Definitely, I have been using kaldrostream for since november myself =)

[@ahmedkase1245]

@Vicente Dominic yup, I've been watching on kaldroStream for since december myself :)

[@ramchillarege1658]

Excellent Demo. Thanks

[@johngring765]

Thanks for the demo. Gettin me one of them tools.

[@ledirtworks8403]

“Clip Bender” is the Name of the tool. Around $15 or so. I appreciate your video 👍🏻

[@TheLaLaFarm]

Thank you for stopping by and watching. It is a huge time saver. One of our subscribers gave me the idea also of using a 1/4" box end wrench which sounds like a really good idea. Next time we do fence which will be in the coming weeks, I am going to give that a try and see how it works out. - Rick

[@ShainaReed30]

Totally purchasing that little tool thanks!

[@TheLaLaFarm]

I is certainly a handy dandy little tool and saves a lot of stress on your hands and fingers. - Rick

[@jimwrightkaiser5226]

Nice explanation and demonstration

[@TheLaLaFarm]

Thank you and thanks for stopping by and watching. - Rick

[@TateBugs]

We just did that today! We do the same thing. Stretch first and the t posts. But I’ve never seen your handy dandy twister!!! We do needle nose pliers! Now I’m pretty sure we need one of those!

[@TheLaLaFarm]

That twister thingy saves your fingers and a lot of curse words. 😁

[@richardflaherty2373]

Thanks for making this video because I am new to the country and have 16 acres of fence to put up.

[@TheLaLaFarm]

Richard - Thanks for stopping by and watching. 16 acres is a lot of fence. We do all of our fencing during the winter, when it is cooler. My biggest suggestion is to get the right tool and it will speed the process up significantly and cause much less frustration. We cover each step in the install in our fencing install playlist. The tools will cost you a couple hundred dollars, but I few it as an investment for getting the job done correctly. - Rick

[@richardflaherty2373]

@@TheLaLaFarm Thank you for your reply. Winter is almost here and I will do fencing in the cold; better than 95 degrees in Kentucky.

[@TheLaLaFarm]

@@richardflaherty2373 I feel your pain. We are in Florida - summer is mid 90s and 100% humidity. Not ideal for fencing.🤣

[@jesusislord2457]

Great demonstration! That took a minute to finish! ☮️💖🙏🤜

[@TheLaLaFarm]

Fencing does take a bit of time. It is a process with some parts being much easier than others. That's why we never do fencing in the summer - always in the late fall and winter. Thanks for watching. - Rick

[@jesusislord2457]

I feel your pain. This method surely beats using manual post hole diggers, setting creosote posts, and stretching fence with a come-along, and hammering in fence staples. You young kids are spoiled. 😉

[@michaelbobbiharris2587]

Good video. I'm watching to see how P10 grows out

[@TheLaLaFarm]

Thanks. P10 is pretty little doe. LaLa got updated weights this last weekend and I will be updating the sale page in the next couple of days.

[@B2BFarmstead]

That's what that tool is for!? A wire wrapper! Thank you!

[@TheLaLaFarm]

It will save a lot of time and frustration. Someone also suggested to me after posting this video that a small 1/4" closed end wrench also works really well. If you have one of those - might also be worth a try. Thanks for watching. - Rick

[@arifino4420]

Thanks brother 🙏

[@TheLaLaFarm]

Thanks for stopping by - glad you liked it.

[@Rebel9668]

That works fine for that heavier gauge of fence but those metal clips were thicker than the fence I'm using and the fence bent all too hell trying to twist those on so I finally got disgusted and used zip ties, LOL! I only put up a small section of wire (3 posts and 10 feet of welded wire) to tie my tomato vines to.

[@TheLaLaFarm]

Yeah I think I would have gotten really frustrated as well with that. Good call! 😄 - Rick

[@hope2029]

Tractor supply gives wires for free if you order a certain amount of posts.

[@HighlandHomesteadGoGoMomma]

Very nice explanation 👌..my fingers hurt so bad after those days..

[@TheLaLaFarm]

Thanks so much for watching.

[@oldcountryman2795]

Lord! That takes a minute.

[@TheLaLaFarm]

It's not quick, but it makes a generally pain in the rear task - much easier. Thanks for watching and commenting. - Rick

[@jojolozano4868]

We just use pliers and do it quick

[@TheLaLaFarm]

Thanks for stopping by and watching.

[@DustyGoatHomestead]

Didnt know that tool exsisted.. Definately would have been easier.

[@TheLaLaFarm]

Most definitely makes things easier. Same thing with the wire wrapper. Definitely saves your fingers. -Little Rick

[@karenkaren390]

@@TheLaLaFarm I wish you had given us the name of the manufacturer or where to buy it. A link would have even been better and maybe given you some commission!

[@ashleystarr7286]

Did y’all make a video about making the gates to that fence

[@susannewhirley8709]

What is that tool called?

[@saraschnell]

How do you attach on the wood posts? Just staples?

[@sheepseven7588]

How strong is it? Thank you

[@TheLaLaFarm]

We have not had a breech of the fence as a result of the tie clips. They are pretty rigid. Thanks for watching. - Rick

[@sheepseven7588]

Thank you both

[@sheepseven7588]

Hi can I hang tomatoes on it?

[@TheLaLaFarm]

I suppose you could, but I think the bigger question is what are you putting behind the fence. In our case, our fences contain goats and tomatoes and related nightshade plants are poisonous to goats. Thanks for watching. - Rick

[@sheepseven7588]

Hi thank you for quick reply, no animals at all.

[@TheLaLaFarm]

@@sheepseven7588 Then it would make a good trellis for your plants. I am actually planting Cucamellon and mint along our fencing as an additional forage for our goats on the other side. - Rick
