Hey there, I'm going to show you real quickly
how to make a tomato sager, at least how I

00:04.960 --> 00:12.560
do it, by myself, no problem. Here's my coil of wires.
If you have a hill, I kind of like it to go downhill

00:12.560 --> 00:17.600
I don't have to deal with rolling it,
and it's a lot easier going downhill

00:17.600 --> 00:27.280
Take your wires, step on it. I use a little gas
dam full of gases to get control of the wire

00:27.280 --> 00:31.560
I think it's really important to
always stay in control of the wire

00:31.560 --> 00:44.560
Safety gloves are also really important in this little
project. What I'm going to do is snip off the bottom row

00:44.560 --> 00:50.040
You might want to get our close-up
of this, the bottom row here

00:50.040 --> 00:59.760
I mean, can you hear me now? I snip off the bottom
row, and this is what I mean by controlling the wire

00:59.760 --> 01:13.759
That can pop up and hurt you. That's the
crap, which I don't want to hit with the mower

01:13.759 --> 01:21.280
Now, I'm welding these slightly under two
feet when they're done, so I measure five

01:21.600 --> 01:31.600
feet off, and I take measure, and I come in
here, and I cut it just in front of that bar

01:31.600 --> 01:37.600
This gives me the little prongs
at the end to make a loop in

01:37.600 --> 01:49.919
I'm going to get some more wire for the foot. By the
way, I'm using the really good assistant bolt cutter

01:49.919 --> 01:57.919
It's priced $4.00 at AutoCenter. I'm
going to cut some of the wire for the foot

02:01.919 --> 02:07.919
Out of the way. Now, I have
a little nut driver here

02:07.919 --> 02:11.920
It's got a nice little hole
that goes down about an inch

02:12.239 --> 02:16.239
Using the nut driver, place
it on the wire and bend it

02:16.239 --> 02:24.239
Bend it over. Take the nice little
hook. That's how I'll make the loop

02:24.239 --> 02:34.239
Come all the way down. It's
actually quite easy to do

02:42.239 --> 02:58.239
Sometimes I have to be
working in a shade. All right

02:58.239 --> 03:10.239
That's done. It's out of the way. Here comes the
cage. I come down here, and I just do it all at once

03:10.560 --> 03:24.560
Okay. Get the top one in. Now, sometimes
I'll come through here with pale pliers

03:24.560 --> 03:31.560
and I'll just tighten all these down, bend them all
down. It's kind of like I want this one on this side

03:31.560 --> 03:37.560
I'll bend them all down, but today
I'm not closing this loop all the way

03:37.880 --> 03:47.880
Simple how you want it. But if I don't close the
loop, I can come through here with some nylon ties

03:47.880 --> 03:59.880
and just tighten them down. You don't close the loop if you
want to be able to open this at the end of the year flat

03:59.880 --> 04:04.880
lay it under a deck or something. Otherwise,
it's a pretty fairly bulky item to store

04:05.200 --> 04:11.200
So these can be laid flat at the end of
the season and put just about anywhere

04:11.200 --> 04:23.200
anywhere you have a little place to hide them. Flip it over,
and I just like to put a little pressure on it to make it round

04:23.200 --> 04:34.200
It's not quite round right
now. And the cage. Okay
