Rolling up high tensile wire

[rick n ohio]

I have some high tensile wire to take down
anyone got any ideas on how to roll it
back up.

a large truck rim (preferably without center). Put the end of the wire through the valve stem hole and put a small 1/16 inch cable clamp on the end. Roll along the ground pausing to take up slack caused by the circumference difference between the bead and drop center. tape the last foot to the rim with gorilla tape. Jim

I just use the same wire Jenny that is used to install. Take one strand down, roll it and secure the spool with wire and remove from Jenny. Your better off having the Jenny or whatever you use do the rotating to keep the wire from getting twisted. Once it gets twisted its tough to control. You can use a 3 point pto wire wrapper as well. It's worth money on Facebook, so try to save it. Better to roll it up on the Jenny, as when you sell it, it'll fit that style again. Just having the wire in individual spools alone makes for easy handling.

Rim on back of truck jacked up and someone on the brake. Tie a 3 lbs weight on other end.

Dad made a winder out of some old steel posts and a pipe or something like it for a hub. Then turns it by hand for some of the wire. I was looking at an old buzz saw for the set up then clamp a wheel in the part where the blades was tighten nut and drive it hydraulically to slow it down and to use easier than the buzz saw. Other thought was to use a hub form a wagon spindle with a sprocket and hydraulic motor and a flow control valve for speed control. I figured old junk wheels would work and then could either reuse the wire or junk the whole thing.

Most any wire or cable, is one wrap over, next wrap under. (Reversed, or spun around) Hope this makes sense.
