Made from Rubbish to collect Rubbish..

My 11yr old son and I go out once a month to the local shops. On our way back we collect empty drink cans which are thrown all over.. I collect them to melt on my homemade smelter/foundry/forge( Work/build in progress) into ingots for future projects.. We have  so far in the last 4 trips out collected several bin bags full. I am Disabled and have trouble bending down so I made this to make life easier................

Step 1: Materials

I used an old pole from under a single bed (these were instead of wooden slats), 4 Bike wheel spokes and a piece of wood dowling. Tools were 1 x 4mm metal drill bit, 1 Saw, Metal File, A Hammer, Mole Grips and a Punch.. Oh yeah my mini-drill with a diamond cutting disc.

Thanks.... I first made these barbed spokes when i was young. My mates and i used to go camping as kids(12-15) and we made these to fish for Trout. Just attached them to a stick and go spear fishing.....
