Glad to hear your doing good ! The trip hammer on a red hot tip would do the trick . I don’t have a coal forge or a trip hammer but I might be able to come up with a substitute. I remember Jamie asking about this a while back but don’t remember the answer. The 5/8” smooth rod that I’ve used in the past was cut by me on a chop saw , I just cut all of them twice as long as they needed to be then cut them in the middle at a 45 and used that as my point. This rebar was given to me already cut so I will need to put points on them while I’m installing knots and nuts.

Have a oxy actel torch? I torched mine off, then slipped a washer on and reheated the rod and then mushroomed the end.

Those dog knots are they forged in or welded on, look forged.

The doctor Bob bent stake mod might be worth looking into also.

Rebar is just one more heavy thing I don't want to carry, almost all disposables for myself.

No sir. I did not! It can be done many ways but its very labor intensive to do a lot of them. The best I come up with is putting one end in a drill and spinning it while holding the other end to a grinder. Tough to do with 5' kill poles! lol

I’m thinking maybe back to the chop saw for a quick cut on two sides. It doesn’t need to be super sharp just somewhat pointed . The 45 * cut works but will go to one side , especially if you hit a stone.
Thanks Jamie.

Wr weight is not a problem as I will only be a few feet from the tailgate of my truck. The ones in the pic that Tracy put on are forged I think but Wayne talked about welding a short piece of pipe on , this or a lock washer will be the easiest for me to do .

Are you saying Bobs stakes are bent on porpoise? I had seen pictures and assumed he had tough ground , lol .

If I was a few feet from the truck, and running rebar , i would just cross stake with chestnut rings. I like to tinker, but I know cross stakes are not coming out.

wr I know what your saying ( you prefer two stakes ) I know that I don’t need them for my ground . I’m just trying to get a little insurance in the event that I hit a soft spot or slightly questionable ground .

I'd try them especially on long chains, but I don't want to have to worry about gear.
