VaughnT Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 One part forging, one part welding..... I still have to forge the one end out to make a loop for hanging, but I'm pretty happy with it as it stands. Started with a 22" length of 1/2" square bar for the center piece and 3" lengths for the barbs. Spaced the barbs off with pieces of scrap so I'd be close to where I needed when I was all done. Welded it up and then hit the welds with the grinder. I forgot to measure things once I'd rounded off the handles, but I probably only stretched it an inch, if that. The forging was minimal and just to make the handles more comfortable. I might do more later, taking them to full round when I hammer in the loop... Overall, it was a fun project. Doing a few test pieces, I think I'll be very happy to replace the adjustable wrenches I have been twisting with! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
