Little help please

[dutchboy]

I'm looking for tools for the campfire and don't know where to get them. Specifically I'm looking for a poker and the tongs for moving firewood. Don't want any cheap junk. Any idea on a store in the North Metro all the way up to Brainerd.

Thank you.

dang nabit.......i dont have any fire ring forks left or i could get you one of them.  i could weld one up i guess. 

[glenn57]

Dutchy,  Here's what a could weld up if your interested.

[dutchboy]

That would work. How long of a handle does that thing have? Any idea where I could get a tong thing from?

Let me know how much and when it would be done.

I had no idea that the pitchfork we've been using for 40 plus yrs didn't cut it...

[glenn57]

i'd have to measure it but guessing close to 4ft.

well it'll be union made so....... it wont be much i could feasably have it done by the weekend. i dont have a whole lot going after tomorrow!!! as far as the tong......we've never needed one for as many fires as we've had.

oh boober.............. get with the times!!!!!!

[Bobberineyes]

[glenn57]

Dutchy, the overall length will be 5 ft.

no it will be just a piece of square tubing welded to the rebar for a handle.

tell me how long you want it. but i can say for certain when your stirring that fire and shorter could get a wee bit warm.

[glenn57]

Any swap meet or craft show has them.  I was in Maple Lake today at one, and a guy had a bunch he made up. Both the one I have at home and the camper, came from a swap meet!  All I got were some grilled pork chops from the local butcher food venders!

Dutchy........i'm done with the fire ring forks. So now we need to get together to change title/ownership!!!!!

not sure your schedule, but i'll start with maybe i could meet you at Runnings on the east side of st cloud.  except for tomorrow morning when i'm at the store....i'm pretty open in the afternoon or at any point on friday!!!

let me know what works. we'll figure something out.

i sent you a PM also!!!!!!

[mike89]

[Jrasmussen]

I'm guessing he had some hot pink laying around from some other projects. 

[glenn57]

sounds like a plan!!!!!!

leech.....i entertained that thought a few times but i really dont want to get into it that deep. i've also made can crushers but thats alot of cutting and welding, again i like doing it when i feel like it. dont want to be bound by it.

[Leech~~]

leech.....again i like doing it when i feel like it. dont want to be bound by it.

Dang, you make it sound like a marriage! 🤭

[glenn57]

[dutchboy]

Yes, it's been a while. Thawing out that Pike and it will get worked on soon. The fire pit fork (is that what I call it? ) should get used tomorrow night if it isn't raining.

Thanks again.
