ralphy Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Hey everyone. Sorry I've been away for so long, Last summer my wife was diagnosed with stage3 breast cancer and with that and work I haven't made anything new in a long time, now she is cancer free, so far so good. I have missed alot and want to get back into the art. However back to the topic. A coworker asked me if I could make a garden hoe and I made a nice looking one I'll post a pic or two if i can figure out how to get them from my phone to the computure to here. has anyone made any garden tools? I'd like some ideas to make more tools for my wife. Sorry for being long winded. thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jw223 Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 Ralphy- this is a pic of a little garden tool I made last weekend. Keep in mind, I am a weekend hack at best! there are some design flaws and weighting issues, but it was fun to try. Took less than an hour. I used 1/4" round, almost 2 complete 4' lengths.

John McPherson Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 This guy forges custom garden tools and sell major brands in his store, lots of ideas there. http://www.redpigtools.com/servlet/StoreFront Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Browne Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 JW, Those rakes/forks are great. Might just have to make one for my mum who is a gardening fanatic :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
