Home Made U-Lock Bicycle Lock

Step 11 Weld the hasp guard and the blob on the end of the crossbar

I used old stainless steel bicycle spokes as welding rod and a TIG welder.
I'm not showing any of the details of welding because it's hard to photograph and the info is abundantly available elsewhere.
Most people don't have a TIG welder. Use whatever you've got.
If you don't have a welder use solder, rivets, glue, string, or chewing gum.
The goal is to make it look like a bicycle lock or at least like something a normal person wouldn't want to touch.

The crossbar looks just like the cardboard one except it's metal.
The blob at the end can be welded, folded, or any combination.
