Popped to Manchester to help with some orchard maintenance.

@smbsy Wingnut engineering.

@smbsy Love the idea - doesn't it get terribly expensive on a larger scale though?

[ox1de@cyberplace.social]

@smbsy I dig it but I feel it would get expensive extremely quick.

@richlv This is for a community orchard where the tree cages come off once a year for maintenance.

If it was a fence or a permanent fixture, then staples would be cheaper, yes.

@smbsy why do I see this *after* going to B&Q?
Also, What's the English word for those?

[smbsy@mastodon.art]

@ehproque Oh no! It's a wingnut.

@josh0 @LibertyForward1 That's some fancy hardware

[mastodonmigration@mastodon.online]

@smbsy

Brilliant

[josh0@babka.social]

@smbsy @LibertyForward1 it’s definitely intriguing, especially if you’re using t-posts, but does seem a bit much for wooden posts, especially now!

Literally sitting here with my mouth open.

(In part because it means someone else does that "wander round the hardware shop wondering what I can repurpose" thing . Always nice to pass by a kindred spirit.)

@smbsy Must have been a mofo to tighten like that.
