I will shortly be posting an article by Andrew Johnson (drewgimpy) on his Concertina Wire project. It's very sharp stuff. #:-)

Making Modern Concertinia Wire

As usual if you have comment or feedback about this story or topic please post it here.

Thanks Andrew!

Cheers,
Jim

Good article Andrew. Nicely done and to the point.

Very well done Andrew. It looks very realistic! I just love these simple and very effective methods we all gleen from here!

Andrew, great article! That stuff will make a great addition to any piece of armor.

Looks good and the article is to the point. Great Job!!!

Wow very nice *says while article prints

I'm gona hop in the truck and get some screen! #:-)

Nice article! It made me wanna go do some concertina wire although i have no use for it right now!
Riddle me this Batman, as I haven´t tried doing this myself, is it possible to use a solid metal ruler to cut the whole lenght with one precise cut? That´s the way I cut everything from foil to paper and if precision is needed , the error can be less than 0,1mm. But I don´t know if this material stays put during a long single cut...any experiences?
And one vocabulary question. Is window screening the material that´s used to keep insects outside the house? That´s what it looks like.

Thanks Andrew!

Thanks Andrew; a great article and great timing. Two days ago I picked up a roll of screening (2'x7' Ace Hardware, $4.99) with the idea of trying out this method. Now, with your assistance, I am assured of success.

Great idea and article. I have one item of discussion and that is choice of color. I cannot comment on color for WW2 & Korea. And I do not know the shade of gray color of screen. I would recommend gray for modern razor wire. The razor wire I had to place along the bottom of a gate in my motor park had a medium gray protective coating and now has a pale orange patina from sitting out in the humid Tennessee summer.

Just an comment, still love your concept and thanks for sharing it.

Now I know what to do with scraps after repairing window screens.

While rummaging in my garage earlier today I found something that could work. I'm not really sure want it's called or what it is, but I am pretty sure that it is used for connecting two pieces of drywall together. It comes in a roll like duct tape. It is, however, kind of sticky, but not much, they may be helpful or not so, but painting it may take away from some of its stickiness. Just trying to help, though I don't really know much about what I'm talking about.

Great article... made me want to whip some up.. so I did. I am a little less discerning, and with a bit of twisting, turned it into rolls of barbed wire. (or not.. you decide)

I love learning new techniques!

Thanks
Mike

Great article Andrew!!! I will be using this for the dio project I'm currently working on.

I know this is a very old post; but I'm hoping there might be someone around who might be able to help. I'm thinking of using this method to make section of perimeter in 1:35 scale. Does anyone know where I can find some T-posts to stake the wire onto?

Evergreen? I know they make “I” channel and you could slice off one side? Or Plasruct too.

Thanks Top!

Evergreen also do an sngle iron profile in various gauges/sizes.
