Forging a $60 Pitchfork Coat Rack for the Shop (Blacksmith Projects to Sell)

Roy is forging a coat rack from a pitchfork. This is a great blacksmith project to sell, especially since farmhouse decor is in demand. This is a fun diy farmhouse decor project that incorporates repurposing a pitchfork!

I had a couple extra pitchforks laying around, so I made up a few coat racks. If anyone wants one, I have them discounted for my CZcams viewership... www.christcenteredironworks.com/store/p302/pitchfork_coat_rack.html

I kinda hate to see old tools "repurposed" rather than just repaired/rehandled. But I understand that coat rack customers far outnumber the farmers still feeding loose hay. Thank you for sharing this video.

Just happened to have a broken pitchfork in my scrap metal stack. Finally have a use for it. Thanks Roy

[@grandadz_forge]

Gotta keep my eyes peeled for some of those

[@charlesmay8251]

Thanks for the idea. As a landscaper/ blacksmith I have many old tools like this!

[@davidlewisbrokenanvilforge4555]

Nice up cycling Roy

[@mikesavage9616]

Fine job

[@dougp4614]

Finally found a good use for a pitch fork. Have a good day!

[@leroybarker8510]

Great idea. I've got a couple of broken ones hanging around that I was to lazy to throw away, so now I can repurpose them. Thanks.

[@GWIRailroad]

[@drason69]

Awesome! I've got a pitchfork head, almost identical, to what you used. Now, I might just have to use it for a project. Thanks Roy !!👍😀⚒️❤️

[@g.j.9556]

[@gurvinderkau1e5w18]

Amazing. Pitchfork into coat rack.cool project.

[@mtyson9004]

Cool idea! Thanks and God Bless you guys!

[@mtga5635]

Are you going to install some kind of forge hood? That cough at 2:11 didn't sound too healthy. God bless you!

[@dragonwaterforge]

I so thought it was going up the other way cool

[@bentoombs]

Nice job. Cool hook

[@glennmartin6492]

I was wondering why you didn't counter roll the tips of the tines until I saw the final orientation of the fork.

[@kirkkellogg8532]

Any suggestions about a garden rake head as coat rack?

[@drstrangefart]

So given the composition of the material would the tines also be a good source of material to make small punches and such? Never thought about them being high carbon.

[@Falconryful]

Great idea

[@dgtlmoon]

I think the asking price, and the sale price are often different things?

[@scotthummel4248]

👍

[@lukecope4212]

I can't remember if you've ever made a video explaining what the green tape on your tongs signified.

[@garybower1824]

I bet it is to mark which tools are his or they signify a set of tools. He gives lessons and that is a good way to keep sets from getting mixed up.

[@lukecope4212]

@@garybower1824 ohhh, yeah that makes sense.

[@grayem76]

i can see why you chose that price but i have to think lower if i make them as they wont buy things for top dollar unless it wins an art show and even then they walk past

[@ChristCenteredIronworks]

When Roy made these in the early days, we would price them at $10 per tine. A 3 tine pitchfork would be $30 and a 5 tine pitchfork would be $50. We sold them pretty easily at those prices. Have a great day! -Jessica

[@grayem76]

@@ChristCenteredIronworks realistically i could make the forks out of mild steel and make it look old and fancy that would work too

[@larrygockley2613]

But you didn't make the nails. :)

[@manga12]

hmm I hope its not an ancent antique you know those types of things dont grow on trees

[@Strive1974]

Honestly, where do you live that people would pay $60.00 for a bent pitchfork? I'm in the wrong business
