July 18, 201511 yr We recently changed out all of the guard teeth on our hay swather and I saved them thinking that there has to be something I can make from them. Unfortunately I am falling short on ideas. I would love to get any ideas you may have. Thanks!
July 18, 201511 yr Don't ever remember seeing them galvanized, most likely cast steel of some sort as for uses...
July 18, 201511 yr Dragon fangs as per the post in member projects (iirc)... Separate them and spread the hole large enough to add a tab and make bottle openers...
July 18, 201511 yr Dimensions, and do they have much wear in them, or do they look that nice? How many do you have? Scrapartoz, and Ausfire can probably give some thoughts on these. I'm thinking bicks, gripping cleats for something you don't want shifting in the dirt, coat rack, garden tool holder, two prong fork for weeding/etc, claws and teeth for yard art, Mad Max car accessories, one way driveway guard,
July 18, 201511 yr no good ideas on what to make but thanks for telling me what those were, i have 3 single ones and had no idea what they were
July 19, 201511 yr I was just at tractor supply thinkin the very same thing when I saw them and I get on here and see this lol.
July 19, 201511 yr Think about garden tooling. A double dibble, add a handle for a cultivator, add a string for laying out rows, make a pick-a-roon, lots of possibilities.
July 19, 201511 yr Check out Scrapartoz and Ausfire's work posted here. Fangs, claws, horns, crest bristles, spines, something useful maybe, say really grippy tire chains for winter. Truth is you need a LOT more similar industrial, mechanical, farm machine, etc. parts to go with.Frosty The Lucky.
July 19, 201511 yr Author No they are not galvanized. Bottle openers was all I could come up with and some will surely turn into that but some other good ideas here, thank you. I am usually really good at seeing the potential in a piece of metal and usually know what I want to do as soon as I see it but for some reason this is really throwing me for a loop. I'll post some of what I am able to come up with. :-)
July 20, 201511 yr you could make a style of spiked warhammer. Those look great. The spike side lends to the overall look.
July 26, 201510 yr They are hard steel. Hard to work with for a beginner maybe. I had a bolt cutter with a broken jaw. It took me a couple tries but i made a new jaw out of a mower guard.
