fences
Posted by Mike Dorsch CJ&M r.r. on Friday, June 15, 2007 10:49 PM
Made some chain link fences the other day and thought I would post a picture of it to share . The posts and the horizontal top bars are 5/32" brass tubes I soldered together . The fence material is a nylon mesh that I epoxied to the tubes and them sprayed silver . At the base of each post I soldered a 3" piece of music wire to hold it to the ground .

Very nice ! What is the mesh from? I wouldn't mind trying that myself.

A friend of mine gave me a roll of this nylon stuff to try , I don't know where he got it from . I have 40 yards of it and i'll never use it all so if you want to e-mail me i'll be glad to send you some.
