    Default Project 1,from Tritium, Third Hand

    I made a very quick and dirty "Third Hand" from an old "Lawn Dart" and a piece of 16 gauge steel.

    Attachment 2407Attachment 2408Attachment 2409

    Process was simple.

    Step 1: Bend the "dart" tip at 90 degrees in a vice.

    Step 2: Drill a small hole in the center of a 1" by 3" piece of 16 gauge steel.

    Step 3" Lawn Dart is already threaded so screw on a nut, pass the threaded end through the hole in the 16 gauge plate and secure with another nut.

    Project completed 15 minutes total time. Materials used 1 old lawn dart, 1 piece of 16 ga steel 1" by 3".
