Homemade Hooks

well I was bored the other day, had some spare round stock....so........naturally I made some hooks.

I like the bottom one.

Yeah The bottom one was the second try. It feels alot better than the top one.

I made the top one a little different so that way I can use it with my big boas. I rarely use a hook, but eh, it should be fun!

Real nice work Patrick. I'll bet there is a market for those!!!

Haha I bet there is, seeing as how a snake hook that you buy at a store is like 20-30 bux.


Total cost to build. $3. Total cost to Paint. Dont know paint was free :D

nice work... are you on a big DIY kick right now or what??

Pat'g always DIYing I'll bet he'd DIY a hero if he could nice job on them both Pat

With the big zoo that Pat is maintaining he had better either be a do it yourselfer or start a non profit Pat Foundation.

Nice hooks homey. I was never a DIYer but lately I've been on the kick also. It's cool to save some cash and make something usable. My dad built everything but unfortunately he was too difficult to work with (sounds familiar) so it was hard to learn anything from him. I've had to learn a lot on my own. Rock on bro!

Yeah, my dads a druggy so not much HE can teach me that I already dont know LOL.

But I just enjoy making things, especially if you can use it, that makes it even better!

I just made a decent DIY hook today.

I cut off the end of a golf club, and got some of that semi-stiff wire that is used to hang ceiling tiles. I bent the wire in two, making a double-thick snake hook shape, with a 10-inch "handle"

then I stuck the "handle" inside the end of the golf club, while dripping hot glue inside at the same time.

This way the hook attachment is sturdy enough to handle snakes (although its no stump ripper).

I can also just heat up the end, melting the glue inside, and remove the hook attachment if I ever decide to make it better.

All the materials were just laying around the workshop (+ a 100 year old rusty golf club from the garage) so for me this was free :)
