CurlyGeorge Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 I just completed the biggest single order that I have taken on in my shop. Normally, folks order a couple of things at a time. Well this order consisted of a double set of camp gear for two guys that are brothers. Here are some pix of what I made for them. 2 Serving forks, 2 Ladles, 2 Spatulas 2 Steak turners, 2 squirrel/chicken cookers 2 fire grates each with 4 stick in the ground legs 2 tent stake pullers, 4 teepee pole lantern holders/hooks, 8 4" S-hooks 40 18" tent stakes, 2 3pc fire iron sets(Can be set up as tripods) Total order came to almost $550.00. As I said, the largest single order for me, to date. Not too bad for a hobby. I'm gonna suggest a couple of more items, like fire pokers and wash basin stands. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CurlyGeorge Posted November 2, 2011 Author Share Posted November 2, 2011 Thanks Derek. Bush Bugger, I made my own ladle swage out of an end cap that gets welded onto the end of 3" black pipe. Just welded it to a piece of angle iron and clamp it in the vice. Works great. I also made a serving spoon swage that I cut out of the heel of a 3" black elbow and welded it to a piece of angle, also. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
