SoCal Dave Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 They make for a nice horseshoeing stand. Weld a pipe in the middle and cap the top. It's a lot better than you holding their feet up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratel10mm Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 Mike, Mick's main garden forge is a plough disk, and I think another of his is too. Need another forge mate? :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul42` Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 They make great woks (or discadas) when cooking for a large crowd.... Here is a dutch oven cook stand that I made.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGGUNDOCTOR Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 For those of us who haven't had our right to bear arms restricted , they make great targets. Hang a bell behind the center hole, and you can hear the different ring when you get a "bullseye". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pkrankow Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 For those of us who haven't had our right to bear arms restricted , they make great targets. Hang a bell behind the center hole, and you can hear the different ring when you get a "bullseye". I'll have to remember that. Now I have an excuse for looking for a plow disk.

mike-hr Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 I used a serrated disc to make guillotine dies for the joint in making pipe bamboo. It cuts a nice score mark prior to upsetting the joint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nuge Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 I made a few garden hoes for my father and he likes them. They make great woks (or discadas) when cooking for a large crowd.... Thats the first time I have heard the term "discada" My latina friends call it a "fritanga". Nice dutchie, you can feed an army out of a few of those.

thecelticforge Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 They make excellent chopping tools also. Such as meat cleavers and hoes. I have also seen them turned into spades and trowels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
