Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting Birth of a deer camp

I decided to toss together a pitch fork for fish today with some junk out in the garage.

Cold rolled 1/4" rod, I rolled the bends and cut the pieces..



I bent a strap to captivate the center section of the tines.



dry fit befor drilling and notching the strap for plug weld.



strap welded, tines cut to length.



a little while later...



shank is heavy black pipe.



handle is thin wall pipe, inserted and plug welded, a short chunk of rod plug welded at the top of the handle with a ring for a rope.

I know it's not the best of materials of the best spear, but I'll heat the spear head red and quench it to try to harden the tines a bit.

It's a starter spear.
