New raising stake I call it an L-stake

[Halberds]

I picked up some 1-1/2" by 1" 1018 steel at the market and made this test piece.
I was going to make a T-stake but changed my mind.
I just hung the top bar off one end and called it a L-stake.

I used to just C-clamp a piece of 1" to my work bench to hammer on.
I think this will be a lot more secure.
The back is undercut to roll an edge and the front is rounded to raise on.
It should reach well up into a helm.
It is sitting in a modified 1" tool holder.

What do you guys think of it?

I only have one question: How much?

[Ckanite]

awesome!

I was thinking around 75 but the tool holder is optional.
I could add a vice or hardy hole retaining lug if needed.

Like these tools have:

Nice! Useful piece...

That's a cool idea! Do you make small off set ball stakes for raising elbows?

I have made stakes to client's specifications.

Thanks Pitbull.
