  1. Nice hook for a little guy. when I was looking at the picture, it occured to me that the drive point on most "standard" drive hooks are roughly perpendicular to, or angled a little down from perpendicular to the vertical base of the hook. Would it not be better for a longish hook like the one you made to have the drive point actually angle a little upwards from perpendicular? even with a little bit of upward curve on the drive point.

    sorry for the crude drawing.



    Thanks, I can't believe it didn't dawn on me to angle it up. I'll give it a shot
  2. Hey guys,

    Is it possible to make a corkscrew end for my wall hooks? I have a guy wanting a couple to hold laterns but he wants to screw them into a tree but take them back out when he's done. Do I have to do a corkscrew or can I make something else that's removable? Any advice or design tips would be great.

  3. Hey guys, I have a question. What kind of oil do you put on the finished product to keep it corrosion resistant without painting it. I made a hook over the weekend and put a light coat of gun oil on it. It rained last night and you guessed it....it has rusted and looks like hell. What does the forum use and where can I get it? I want that steel look and I don't want to cover it up with paint. Any help and advice would be appreciated.
