Dave,
Thanks for posting the extra picture of the forks. I thought they looked like solid steel forks but when you said you made them, I thought they might have been square tube like many of these guys make/use for the home made jobs. Those are really thick at 1-¾". What is the width of them now, cut long ways? Looks like 3" or so?
