Stranded Wire 101

As an apprentice I had an old timer show me. That's a one heck of a solid way to tie wire together. If I remember correctly, the wires cross then fold back on each other and twist, so that there is two separate twists, one wire twisting on the other. I don't know if I said that well enough.

I actual got caught doing one by a juryman when I was apprenticing, he asked: where did you learn a western union wrap? I had just made it up on the spot, it's fairly intuitive.
