any one have ideas, videos, web sites that tell how to make barb wire fences including the posts.

I've seen some in books very realistic but no instructions

Hey derfberger. You're talking about the chainlink fence with barbed wire on top right? This thread might help you out:

not bad for first attempt

that being said in looking up ASTM specs on barbed wire ( most educational including the history) i found the barb is 3/4 inch from center and 4 or 5 inches spacing.

Dividing these dimensions by 1/87 would give barbs smaller than the eye could see so i'll go thread or black wire.

besides cutting one strand of screen wire at a time for all i need would soon make me go blind or crazy

got to get busy before the cows wander on the track

Ah I see what you're doing there. Thread definitely seems like the way to go. I guess you'd be using either silver or brown thread, depending on how rusty the wire needs to look.

Oh phew. When I first read the topic of the post I thought it said FECES. Fences is a much better topic. Though if you have barbed wire you probably have cattle and feces probably do enter into the picture at some point.
