Dodge Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 My first attempt at a BBQ fork. 1/2" (30.5cm) square hot rolled by about 14(?)" (35.6cm) forgot to measure initial length and cut a couple inches off before cutting the fork split (used a hack saw and split 2-1/2" (Did measure that )) Final length is 18-1/2" (47cm) Thanks for comment and criticism Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CurlyGeorge Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Good job, Scott. Looks real nice and heavy so it won't bend the tines picking up that big chunk of ham. BTW. Happy Birthday Buddy. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dodge Posted September 1, 2011 Author Share Posted September 1, 2011 Thanks guys. George, I think I can pick up a whole ham! Yeah Jeremy, Ian showed me a pic of the one he made and I must have unconsciously copied But, you know what they say, imitation is the truest form of flattery.... or is that what they call plagiarism ... LOL Stan, I really had fun making this and plan some tooling to help on the next ones so they don't take 4 hours each :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marksnagel Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Nice fork! Cool Cedar Island Ferry mug too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeremy k Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 Scott - you'll be surprised when you make another one - it won't take that long. Ian did a very nice job on the one he left for me. He can do blacksmithing as he says. It's always a bit tougher working in strange suroundings - as in not your own shop. Again Scott - the next ones will be easier. Now get to the forge and make some more !!! LOL - JK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
