Date Listed: Aug-05-08 unique JP Jennings Tent stakes Handmade by David Blankenship in Bakersfield, CA. 12 inch Tent Stake $3.25 each Construction: All steel. All connections welded. Specs: 3/8 spike with hook and ring. The hook is built from 1/4" round rod. It has been sheared to length in a custom-built cutter for clean, square ends. Once sheared the hook is bent in a custom-built bender to ensure uniformity in all the hooks. The ring is a multi-use feature that makes these stakes unique from any other on the market today. They are built from a heavy gauge wire that is straightened, coiled and cut to make uniform split rings. Much of this is done with custom-built tools and equipment. Both the hook and the ring are welded to the spike. To ensure consistent construction a custom jig is used to hold the spike, hook and ring in place while the pieces are arc welded with a high strength fill material and inert shield gas. The Finish: The shank is a plain oiled finish that provides protection from rust during storage and shipment. The head has been dip/spin painted with two coats of a top brand yellow enamel paint. Rather than acting as a preservative finish this yellow enamel provides excellent visibility in the woody conditions where tent stakes are often used. Specifications: 12" Tent Stake 8 oz Materials: All tent stakes are built from heavy 3/8" diameter carbon-steel spikes. Hooks are 1/4" carbon-steel round rod. Utility rings are made from a heavy gauge carbon steel wire Some specifications are estimated. Variation in actual length and weight must be expected. [http://www.jpjennings.com/stakes]
