First folding spoon
Feeling good enough to get out to the shop this morn and made my first attempt at making a folding spoon.

Re: First folding spoon
You could always figure out a way to put a spring in it and hand it to an unsuspecting someone who you think deserves a face full of food!
Re: First folding spoon
Make a pivoting folder. Where the handle slides in a curve level with the spoon. Sort of a sideways fold. Then have a sliding rectangle of wire that moves over it and sort of locks it in place.

Re: First folding spoon
It looks well made but I think you're right about the fixed handle......

Re: First folding spoon
Lenn, just loving that second spoon design. A feller could sure slip that in his pocket and almost forget about it.
Re: First folding spoon
Thanks Bill, i should make some kind of scrapping tool and dig it out so it holds a little more.

Re: First folding spoon
Dug it out a little more with a hoof sole knife, ordered a hooked knife that will do a better job.

Re: First folding spoon
Very clever design Lenn!
I'll bet if you used a square nail or copper rivet (vintage style) my twin, the blackpowder guy, and his buddies would carry them on their treks into the woods.

Re: First folding spoon
The square nail could be left a little long so that it would be able to be pushed up for the spoon to swivel open and then pushed down to lock it. There are other methods. Something would work for the woodwork.

Much better with the proper tool.
I used a sickle mower rivet for this one.

Re: First folding spoon
Now that's a great idea. Be good to keep in a pack.
Or.... in your pocket for when you go to your buddies house and he's having something good for supper!

Pitchy, if you would take orders, there are lots of folks who do the mountain man reenacting who would buy the spoons.
