Big $4 smelt sifting spoon!

[anotherred]

Found this at the local Fleet Farm with the icefishing supplies. Got it for sifting out clips when smelting wheel weights.
Part #2089230003, on sale for 3.99. This thing should work awesome!

Looks great! Hope it's not soldered together.:kidding:

If it is soldered, drill two holes the sizr of 10d nails in the bowl and handle while they are still attached. Pass a nail through each hole and clip the excess nail off to leave about 1/8th inch of nail proud of the ladle. Back the nail heads up on a vice or anvil and hammer the stubs to rivet the bowl and handle together. You will be fixed for life.

Mine is a huge full metal slotted spoon I got from the Everything's a Dollar store. Good buy, hope it works well for you.

Just had a revelation. I was in a customer's shop who sells commercial kitchen equipment (walk-ins, griddles, etc) and found ladels galore. Picked up a small one about the size of a quarter, one big enough for muffin tin ingots in one pour, and a slotted strainer ladle, all stainless, all spot welded for under $5 total. Who would have thought?

Ill have to look closer if its welded or soldered. If soldered, nothing a little duct tape can't fix. J/K, Ill just hit it with the welder.

Those dollar store stainless steel kitchen spoons are the bee's knees and are cheap as dirt!
