Made some stakes today and said I would show how so here it goes

1: cut rebar (or smooth rod) to length I did 20 inches apiece so I can get 6 stakes from a 10 ft piece of rebar and used a cut off wheel on a grinder to make them.


2: I took a lugnut and started to thread it on then took a drill with a 13/16 socket and spun it on the rebar


3: then hammered the nut snug and put a tack weld on the bottom just to hold till the top mushrooms down

Hopes this helps

Nice!

Sweet! How much does a ten foot stick of rebar cost?

like 8 bucks

around here and that's for 1/2 inch


1/4 is a few bucks

So... that's 16 dollars to make a dozen stakes that you can buy for 20 from F&T? I'll stick to buying them. (I also have no welding experience)

but then add in shipping for fnt...id like to know

What are yall talking about a 10 ft piece costs 2.60 and a 20 ft piece about 7.50 because concrete guys have to buy it longer to tie together

And we have a TON of lugnuts so they free

And if you pound it tight it will probably hold

i was about to ask that bc we dont hv anything to weld tho we want toget one soon

not a biggie, its a learn on the fly kinda thing

after u flash urself with it a few times u learn lol

yup lol
