Don't roast the welds to hard, I used old flux core wire and my ground clamp was bad I replaced both and I'm welding better lol. Relearning puddle control was a bit rough to.

Anyway it's a wolf creek #2 offset, outside lams and filled in the gap for the lam to make a "cast jaw", rod baseplate, 3 sterling swivels, welded j hooks 12 inch chain to an 18 chain stake to my homemade retrievable super stake

So what do you with the tag end of your retriever cable?

It's about 3 inches shorter than the chain. It gets pounded all the way under and if it pulls up a little when setting the anchor just tuck it down in.

I forgot to add the chain is just brass finished, it's normal #2 machine chain. I got a whole reel for $3 at an estate sale
