Well as the topic says I made a spork :D
I bought the spoon for a dollar :tu: Then I marked it with a Sharpie :cheers:

Next I started by putting it a vise and cutting it with a Dremel :like:

Shortened it and put a hole in the end for a string or carabiner to hook to it :cheers:

Finished it off with diamond rod and sanding block :cheers:

My first homemade spork :tu: Just left is washing and using it :D I may get a smaller spoon for the next one though :think:
-
Nice one Poncho :tu:
I lightly sharpened one edge on mine so it will cut food better but not so sharp that it will cut my mouth :salute:

That is a good idea Sparky :cheers: :cheers: :like:

My tips/preferences...
Three slots only...that gives you a four tine fork. The space between tines should be wide enough to capture Ramen noodles. I like the tines longer because it does a better job of spearing food like vegetables without splitting them.
-
Thanks for the tip Spork :tu: I am also going to get a smaller spoon for the next try :D
-
Good job mate. :tu: So, are you now planning on making a whole drawer full of hybrid cutlery? :D
-
There is no spoon.

There is no spoon.
Nor fork.

Did that years ago and failed spookily (though I never accepted that and kept on attempting to convince myself that my hand-made spork was cool). I ended up having a spoon with threatening looking spikes... Had to throw it away couple of years ago finally :D :D
You seem to have accomplished a much better job, though :tu:
-
Here's mine, the edge closest to us is a little sharper ;)

Sweet knife!!

I shall buy more spoons and sketch a few different patterns out this time before just cutting away with my dremel :whistle:

A spife, foon, forfe and all other types of hybirds :dd: :D
-
Perhaps a spoon that is a bit different shape that just the regular rounded spoon :think: That might help it be a bit more fork like :tu:
-
I thought that once Poncho but decided I could shovel more in with a spoony fork :D
Z, there's a bit more about that knife here Mate :tu:
