Yup, gave me an idea to, I think I can do that.

Anything that save a step or two helps.

Nice work, very nice work. Question for you. It appears the business end of the wedge is a different material, what did you use? Also, what equipment did you use to bend the ends of those plate sections toward the front of the wedge?

Thanks for sharing with us. Appears as though you have stirred some creative juices.

Sizzami;

Very nice work. I too would like to know what materials you are using and what are you using to make those great looking welds. Good job.

the single wedge is , 1/4 plate . the slip on is 3/8 plate the joint at the front is a piece of 1/2 plate , beveled and welded then sanded down.
I did the bends in a press brake.
I use a lincon cv-300 w/.030 wire.
