Kitselman Fence Machine

[suzykits]

Hey! This is my Grandfather's wire-weaving machine! He invented it. Pretty cool, eh? It was invented before 1900, and at that time, you couldn't buy ready-made fence. And Henry Ford hadn't made an automobile yet! They were just getting the territories in the west figured out, and Indians were still all over the place. I have the catalog for this fence, & some other designs of fence his machines could weave. He also made the first steel roller skates, by putting the ball-bearing in them, abt1885.

An IC engine powered version of this would still have a market today, for making temporary fences.

Would it be less expensive to make you own fencing with this machine than to buy it already made?
