March 30, 201115 yr 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.
March 31, 201115 yr 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. JW

March 31, 201115 yr JW, Those rakes/forks are great. Might just have to make one for my mum who is a gardening fanatic :)
