Two scientists create a teleportation ray, and they try it out on a cricket. They put the cricket on one of the two teleportation pads in the room, and they turn the ray on.
The cricket jumps across the room onto the other pad.

This method requires daring ( for some guys) but it works....


Go to a fabric shop (or send your wife or GF) and purchase a quantity of "bridal vale".   

Attach it to whatever you  are using for posts and hit it with a spray can of flat aluminum.

Wouldn't that be more of a chain-link effect?  The veil is probably similar in grid size to the photo-etched fence being currently discussed in the other forum.

changed some fence posts and strung some wire (hair from my wife's brush) Think Ill wait for the E-Z line.
I went with .030 styrene rod. I think its pretty flexible and more likely to bend than break, and its what I had :P



With out the macro picture you cant even tell the wire is there, but we know it is. Now I have to do the track side of the pasture

I use .030 as well but just can't bring myself to string the line.  I keep thinking I'm gonna try a test section, but I'm afraid I'll like it...



You don't wanna know how many feet of fence I have...

Jim- I was planning to ask you (or maybe i already did in your thread?). I've never even noticed your fencing doesn't have wire strung.

Styrene rod still seems like it'd be sturdier than equivalent size bass wood.

Meh...that's nothing compared to going out and buying fake eyelashes to use as UPS trailer skirts! :P

Bridal veil can also be used for "hog wire" fencing, if one cuts it diagonally, to follow the strands.  Window screen works, but is too coarse.

I didn't either until I saw it done - and like I said, I'm of two minds 'cause I'm afraid I'd like it and have to do it all...

The .030 styrene works well, wood at that size would be difficult, methinks.

I bought a pack of .020" music wire today from Hobby Lobby. I snipped the long wires into posts, sunk them into a scrap piece of foam, and painted them with a rail tie brown paint pen.

I'm pretty well satisfied with the look. And they'll be sturdy when pressed/sunk into not just extruded foam, but also solid plaster materials.

The moral of this thread: there are easily a dozen different products that well for pasture fence posts.
