Patio Table Made From Field Cultivator Shanks

Patio Table Made From Field Cultivator Shanks AG WORLD Broken spring shanks off an old field cultivator create legs with a flair on this patio table built by Dave Rakers of Ohlman Ill The legs arch gracefully under the 4-ft sq tabletop and are painted black The table itself is lined with off-white ceramic tile squares on top and includes a firewood burner – the top third of a 30-gal steel barrel – in the middle Rakers used 1-in flat steel to make the table’s frame then stood the 4 cultivator shanks up at the corners and welded them to the corners To make the firewood burner he cut off the top third of the barrel and turned it upside down so the bungee hole is at the bottom Then he cut a series of holes in a disk blade to form a grate and laid it over the bungee hole “It’s built nice and heavy and didn’t cost much to build ” says Rakers “Also everything on it can be easily replaced so it should last forever If the firepot ever burns out I can just replace it with another barrel ” Contact: FARM SHOW Followup Dave Rakers 107 Main St Ohlman Ill 62076 ph 217 622-4918; DRakers@ctitech com
