[QUOTE="Ryan27, post: 24608, member: 1074"] Hi Tone The tool is made from 12mm steel rod. I put a bend in it with my press, however you can do the same in any bench vise. Sharpen the end with a grinder. The spoon is a small offcut of 1.6mm steel sheet. Fold over once again in vise. Hammer down to desired width. Cut the folded piece on angle, so you have a sharp tapered point. Weld to steel rod. Happy days. I will check out your mark II thread. Cheers Ryan [/QUOTE]
