Hello Guys! 
Here is a quick little SBS on making some barbed wire, quickly and easily from Richard (K4).
Using the same tools shown in an earlier post on Making Tow Cables From Wire
Begin by twisting two strands of wire together
Clamp the new wire tightly between two clamps or something that will hold the wire securely
Next, by taking the end to paint brush, dowel or any round item 4mm in diameter, begin twisting a single strand of wire around the cable two times at each attachment point (loosely translated)
So it looks like this...
Next, place a drop of glue (CA) at each attachment point similar to this
You next will want to carefully snip the loops off. Do not snip flush, leave a tiny hook-like piece still sticking out
Once all the snipping is complete, the end result is a really decent run of barbed wire ready for weathering!
Outstanding Richard!!
I really would like to thank Richard (K4) for taking the time to put together and contribute this great little SBS on making the barbed wire to the forum. I hope you enjoyed it and get some good use from it!
