Looking for information on using steel cables in a project...specifically 'tension'.

THis technique is used often in construction. and boats yachting etc look for a good chandlers nearby and ask them I take it your talking wire with turnbuckles etc you will find information a plenty on google. Have fun Alistair

I’ve wanted to do this too. There are specific pieces of hardware that are designed to tension and grab cables. There were so many possibilities that I gave up out of confusion. I’ve seen them employed in projects here so I’m interested to follow this.

This is great! Thanks very much.

I’ll post pics and show you what I’m planning, once I get all of the technical designs worked out.

Thanks!
