Default Fork Lift Forks

I want some forks to fit on the front bucket of a small tractor. Is it possible to make them or would I be better advised to buy some? If I can make them does anybody have any tips?

On a separate point what grade of steel would make good teeth ror the bucket? I can bolt teeth on but am not sure quite how to make them other than they will have to be harder than a mother in law's heart.
