[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1458935, member: 18945"] I understand what he's describing. He's just making a normal tie on one end, (except he is wanting to make 2-3 wraps around the post instead of just going around once) and tie back to the wire, then, going to the other end to make his pull with the comealong. Probably using a wire dog or one of those other gizmos to clamp the comealong to the wire. Once under tension, he intends to "make several wraps around" the opposite end post before tieing the end back to the wire. [url=https://postimg.org/image/1698jrho23/][img]https://s1.postimg.org/1698jrho23/wraps.jpg[/img][/url] JHall, IMO, going around either of the posts more than once is un-neccessary, but I've only used wooden posts. The only advantage I can see to doing that is that the extra turns around the post gives you some extra wire to work with if you ever have to untie the strand and then retie it, and might help keeping the wire from slipping down the steel post. (sometimes, when un-tieing it and re-tieing it, the 'bitter end' breaks off and if you previously made several turns, you can just back off one turn and tie with a 'fresh' end.) [/QUOTE]
