Reply:No welding.Brazing may be possible but I would guess damn near impossible Why the AL for the basket?Why not make it all out of SS?Ed Conleyhttp://www.screamingbroccoli.com/MM252MM211 (Sold)Passport Plus & Spool gunLincoln SP135 Plus- (Gone to a good home)Klutch 120v Plasma cutterSO 2020 benderBeer in the fridge
Reply:If your making a bull rake for hogs,  just use stainless for the head and make the handle from aluminum and bolt it on. Thats how we been doing it on the Cape for years.Disclaimer; "I am just an a$$hole welder, don't take it personally ."
Reply:aluminum is cheaper $$ and easyer to bend to form the loop for the baskettozzi, yes that is what i am making any ideas on forming the loop of the head w/o a jigLast edited by rga107; 09-05-2008 at 06:23 PM.
