How Chicken Wire is Made    1. I wonder what the feeder/twister
heads are made of? Has to be some serious material      •
probably forged steel, with a half funnel shape at the mouth. at
most, same material as the tubing benders you can get at the
hardware store, just stronger, which forging does, but, that
wire isn’t terribly strong, so it’s easy to bend.    2. Brad
Trotter on said:      I wish they showed how the process is
initiated. When they have to restock the wire, the they manually
put twists in by hand then turn the machine on?    3. Hm. I’m
having some issues with this video and noscript. Is it a youtube
clip, or something else? Can’t really figure it out, who is
blocking my access to this one :/    4. Mike Vealey on said:
The one thing that always amazes me is not the things being made
but the machines that make them. How do they make the machines
that make the things being made. There can’t be a Gabions-R-Us
out there somewhere, c
