redouxranch Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yves Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Galvanized? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogsoldat Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Don't ever remember seeing them galvanized, most likely cast steel of some sort as for uses... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LastRonin Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIGGUNDOCTOR Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 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, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glenn Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redouxranch Posted July 19, 2015 Author Share Posted July 19, 2015 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. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colin455 Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 you could make a style of spiked warhammer. Those look great. The spike side lends to the overall look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howard Raymond Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
