clam rake

so i was at dick's today with my little guy and he wants a clam rake. he would never eat a clam in a million years but he just wants to master every type of fishing. so we go check out the clam rakes and DAM!!!!
they want $45. bucks for a regular clam rake. wooden handle, rake and small basket... $45. BUCKS?!?!? are they crazy?? it aint a weedwhacker or a chainsaw... it's a dam clam rake. a wood stick with a little basket on the end. i couldnt believe it.
 
If you know somebody who can weld you could make some pretty easily. My dad made a few for my pappaw over 30 years ago. Pappaw earned over 20 thousand dollars in 3 years diggin clams and selling fish during the summers out of Atlantic Beach, NC. That was back in the mid 80's when 20 grand could practiacally buy a sound-front beach house....which is how he paid for his. Unfortunately he sold it around '91 for 60 rgrand.
