Spring tooth equals rake?

[Maine_Polack]

Has anyone fabricated a rake using the teeth from old spring tooth harrows? Have two harrows in pieces - that old iron just does not rust away - and my thrifty nature says use them.

Go ahead, You can do it!, We all have faith in U...& it'll be fun, why not? If I had the parts & time I'd peck away at it too.
I'm, sure someone will chime in & give U some worthwhile advise...

Heh...Heh...Took a minute for my dull brain, but then I got it! And...I like it.

Should hav explained further about using spring tooths. What concerned me was the "curl" and width of the teeth. It they are too wide and act more like a blade than a rake...I suppose a wider space inbetween would be called for.
