I noticed he rounded the top of the post. What is the reasoning for doing that?

Great tips!

Cameraman, you're terrible.

We use a similar way. H brace. But it does the same thing as what you do.

I build a lot of fence across the Scottish Islands and Highlands, high tensile deer and stockfence. I'm either building into rock or 10ft of peat- so every strainer offers up a challenge..I thought your planing of the stay point was a tad extravagant- is there a reason for doing this? That must have been a slither you cut off the stay to fit?? I can't bury my stays underground as that would be the equivalent of leaving them permanently sat in water, they are jammed into place and nailed through both sides with a 6" nail. Forestry commission now want us to tension a line wire around the bottom of the strainer and round the back of the stay butt. I liked the knot you were tying off on previous line wire video, I'll be using that, for sure. Other than that, good skills mate, nice n tight, you'd fit in well over here. Best DRM.

Hey mate, im looking to get into fencing and was just wandering whether plaining the end of the stay is neccessary?
-
Love that estwing framing hammer you have on your belt. Noticed it straight away. I'm an English carpenter by the way so would do.

Camera man sucks big time sorry
-
never it seen it done like that

I gave up using timber posts a long time ago, I never used pine posts as they are too weak and not fire proof as they burn like match sticks, I use railway iron concreted on all posts now with a star picket welded on the to attach the wire, the fence will last a lifetime and you only have to the job once.

So is the other guy walking around with one shoe?
-
Great video. Only thing I do different if knock the stay post at the bottom of the strut after its in place. Nice to see a good job!
-
Never seen anyone use a plain on a stay before nice touch.

That chisel /bolster needs some attention, long overdue....The proper care of tools isn't taught much these days. Interestingly he cares for his plane but not the chisel/bolster which can do him serious damage if he hits the hand holding it, for example.
Remember how he trimmed the head of a post with the chain saw...? That's what the striking end of that chisel/bolster should be like...and kept. As it is chips can fly off and somehow the eye seems to be their preferred target. The face of any hammer should be kept bright and clean...that crates less slippage and knuckle damage and gives maximum purchase at the strike. Hammers should have a light and regular curve on the face, though sledge hammers are typically flat faced.
The most dangerous situation with a hammer is then the haft breaks and the hammer head flies off....can to serious damage to humans.
Good he mentioned the uplift a stay can put on a strainer especially notable in sludge like this soil. Sometimes the trunk of a tree which splays out at one end can be dug in well stamped in. The slayed end then gives some greater drag against the soil. Of course preparation for any fence is the success or failure.
I've employed 2 professionals on a job recently on fencing I'd do myself normally and neither could be trusted they showed, as I was interstate. I have km long fence as tight as it was 27 years ago when I installed it....I doubt some of theirs will last ten....One used live trees instead of posts in several places...including on a gate post....the other instead of using all steel strainers which I paid-for in his price ....I could not believe..... used pegged star pickets in some gullies....Being there is, tragically, important. This bloke seems as though he'd be reliable and responsive.
As oakstation wrote....the fence tension should reinforce the stays....timber shrinks. -
Bloody Hell! This Man is Awesome at his craft!! O-o

Just great craftsmanship..a pleasure to watch.Quick question,what is the minimum depth you would decide to put a foot in?..in this vid you didn't put one in because of the depth..how shallow before you do put one in? cheers
-
Still trying to work out how you snap that wire so easily after creating a knot. Is there simpky a knack to it? Great craftsmanship.
-
Watching things done right is a wonderful thing mate...craftsmanship is a lost art and getting harder n harder to find...kind of sad if u think about it...oh well no worries n live well...cheers
