Fire/ash rake
« on: November 30, 2013, 05:46:25 AM »

Anybody know where I can find an all metal ash rake online? I did a search with different phrases but they all have wooden handles. The one we have at work was not home made, a two piece one inch pipe with about 10 inch tines and 6 feet long. We have had it since 2003 but my boss can't remember where it came from. The one I need for home could be 5 foot for my use.

If you want to make one, I took the head off one of the wood handled ones and replaced it with a 6-foot piece of 3/4" rigid steel electric conduit.  I smashed the end on the rake head in a bench vice, then took a large pin punch and crimped the end of the conduit over the rake head.  have been using it over a year and it is still not come lose.  No welding on this version, but I have welded a steel handle on a rake head too w/good results.
