Looks very similiar indeed. Think this knot does the trick too. I'll give it a trie with a double strand tonight. Gr. Henk

ClayB Good idea about wetting the lace. That I did not think of that myself. I will give that a try very soon. Russ, You where making perfect sense to me. I know a thing or two about lurebuilding and rodbuilding. And I know exactely what knot you are talking about. Although I would never have thought about using it for this. So many thank's for the advice. I have already tried it on a little piece of lace I had laying around and it works like a charm. I discovered that there are two ways of doing it. You can use two of the knots and ty them together and in/over eachother. But that is a nasty and difficult little job. So I changed this methode and I just use one knot, but tie in a extra piece of lace to form the second spikes of the wire. Know what I'm talking about? Or am I now talking jibberish? If there is an interest I could put in some pics? In any case, many thanks for the advice and the help. Gr. Henk

My thoughts exactely, so I gave it a try. Did not work that simple. The wires did not stay together and untwisted the whole time. And the barbs where no succes either. I could not figure them out. Is it done with a knot? Or do they glue them? How do they do it? Please help. Gr. Henk

Hi there, Since I'm new to this forum I thought it would me decent to introduce myself. My name is Henk Roos. I'm 40 years old and I'm from the Netherlands.

Untill then I will keep practicing and bother/bore you with questions. Kind Regards, Henk

I saw a lot of pictures of Leather Barbwire. And for a project I would like to make some myself. Does anyone knows how you make Leather Barbwire? What's the secret? Below some examples of what I'm talking about: Gr. Henk

Nicely done. I especially like the leather barbwire. How did you make that? Gr. Henk
