Reply:I'm not sure where you are, who your audience is, or item price range, but aside from various types of art pieces things like this go over pretty well in Ag style auctions in my area:- hitching posts- Tack racks- Tack trunks- Saddle racks- Hat racks- Boot racks- Feeders- Decorative Hose hangers- Mixed media furniture (metal/wood/glass)- Replica branding irons for wall hanger décor- Spurs- Fire pitsObviously different levels of talent involved in some of these things, but I've seen some impressive work from young folks with big ambitions.Good luck!Dynasty 200DXBobcat 250, TD Cutmaster 38 Hobart Stickmate AC/DC LXHobart 210 Mig / SpoolgunCentury Mig, O/A rigPress/Ring Roller/Tubing Roller/Hyd.

Reply:Peruse the threads on here of "crap" people make, a lot of them are very simple but seem to sell well at Craft Shows.

Reply:Grilling grates for cooking on a camp fire.    Ones that swing over/off of the fire pit would sell, IMO.
Reply:I had so much fun doing that when I was a kid. We built a horse trailer as a class, and I built a few "T'' post pullers as an individual in out in rural NM. Things that were creative and decorative than utilitarian brought a larger return on time invested. Useless stuff made out of horse shoes were hot sellers, especially if they had a religious or sentimental theme, your girlfriend's mom will pay top dollar for this crap. enjoyConstant Current Weldor.
