Why? Because I am cheap... uuhhh, frugal maybe? Yeah, let's go with that...

1"o.d. 3/4 i.d. , 3/4 o.d. 5/8 i.d., 5/8 rod... All items are 304L SS...

Cut them all on the bandsaw to length, then I cut slots/edges of the soon to be spur. Next, I went over to the belt sander and began the shaping up of the spur.

Next, I grabbed the solid rod and began shaping it on the belt sander also. Dipping it frequently in water.

Then I welded it together. Finally, I drilled and tapped the hole. All in all about a 30 minute DIY.

Very nice. That is one mean looking spur.

Thank you! Looking "mean" wasn't my goal, but I knew that it had to hold, on anything and everything I threw at it.
