Mills Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 Depends on what steel you intend to use. sorry but thats as close as I can get without more details. Will you be using mild steel, rebar, or some super duper alloy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BT Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 RivermanI saw your other post asking for gig patterns also, so I will address both posts. I make two different styles of gigs. One style is a forged and fabricated style made from old pitchforks. The tines are cut down and reshaped to whatever distance you want between the tines. I weld on the barbs. The shaft is made from a 12 inch piece of Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BT Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 Steve White - Thanks for the compliment. I saw in the other thread where you have a friend in MO that has a gig collection. Whereabouts is he located. I would like to see his collection sometime. I also have quite a few old examples of forged gigs that I have collected over the years.
