Title: Cabin Fever Crafting(spoon head!)
Post by: Chris Shelton on February 16, 2010, 02:55:00 PM

This is pretty bad! Actually this is the bottom line, this snow needs to go away fast because I am getting pretty creative! Someone on some thread mentioned making broadheads out of spoons, so i had to try it, and spoons are no longer safe here at my home
Now mind you that I did this with nothing but a saws all and a dremel. So the craftsmanship is not the best. I think I would do alot better and feel alot safer with a bench top grinder. But since I have minimal fabrication skills, and limited supplies what the hey . . .

So there you have it, defiantly looks to me like a terribly made head, but a rabbit devastator, and should also be good on some groundhogs this summer?

It doesn't look bad for a small game head. So are you glueing the blade in the tip or what?

no I drilled a small hole in the middle there, and drove through a small nail, broke it off at the ends and grinded it down, I crimped the tip to the head and it was super tight, so I figured it would probably want to come loose so I did that to help

Nice, Chris.

Cut 'em out of banding material (the stuff they use on big pallets) and stay out of the silverware drawer!

;)

Chris,

Any place that receives heavy shipments on pallets will have it lying around. Think machinery, lumber stores, brickyards, etc.

alright cool, I want a bench grinder bad, so when I get one, I will be a bit more serious than spoons, lol. So I am gona get some heavy dudy industrial saw blades to make some knives and I wasnt sure about using that stuff for small game broadheads(heard they were more expensive), so that is something I will definatly look into . . . thanks

One other material that might be good is broken Band saw blades. anyone with a workshop probably has one or will soon enough.

Looks good but hope its not real silver or your technique could get expensive. :clapper:
