How to make a Sheaf Fork for Highland Games

[@tonytrap]

Sweet! Nice video! I’ve repaired 2 but was looking for a way to add a pvc grip. Nailed it.

I imagine a degree of customization is important since I have a feeling it's common to grab the one off the shelf from Home Depot and Lowes, then it's like the airport where everyone is trying to figure out which identical bag of luggage is theirs. After I cut 2 of the 5 tines from my Lowes fork I painted the metal at the base of the fork a distinct color for this and rust protection.

I started watching this without even looking at the channel name and I kept thinking "Man this guy sounds familiar to me..." Then you turned the camera around and I saw your face and was like "Oh hey I know that guy!" I am going to try making my own implements and get some practice in and hopefully come back to UHA and start competing with you guys, I miss all of you!

How long do you recommend for a handle for someone who is 5' 2.5" , and Jr highlander who is 4' 11"? I'm goingnto attempt to make some for our next games in Sept.

Sorry for the delayed response. There is no minimum length (only maximum...must be under 6') but I'd say a 4ft handle and 5ft overall length is just fine for almost any athlete.

Great video, you are a hoot. I love diy people. For my sake stop cutting toward your fingers. Best of luck this summer!

I know its an old video, but huzzah for Highland games coming back in my area. LOL on the hacksaw towards his hand, I mean if you're tough enough to be in the Highland games you can surely take a little kiss from a small tooth blade...

And don't forget to give your fork a good name!
