In this video Josh demonstrates all of the steps needed to craft a sturdy, reliable snake hook. Remember to add a coat of paint or keep up with oiling to protect from rusting.

Cool project. The snake hook looks good. I like to just leave them snakes alone :) Thanks for posting

I wish i had a workshop and tools like that, good job.
+Brennan Louderback Thanks man!
Me too !
@@AmericanWildernesswhat is the measurement of the blue mark?
Can you share what the measurements are for the distance from the tip to the 90* bend and from that bend to the line for the curve.
I went back and rewatched the video, for a 3rd time lol. I think I finally see what was confusing me. Thanks for posting the video. I will be making one of these soon!
nice sanding skill, thought you was going to use a lathe but its just as good
cool video guys keep up the good work
just a heads up - if you are using the rip guide on a table saw as a positive stop to crosscut equal length pieces, NEVER and I mean NEVER do this without clamping a short block to the rip guide that ends well before the blade begins. Without any clearance between the blade and fence the potential exists for the short cut off piece to bind and "kick back" violently. This can cause serious injury. It will happen fast and will shoot back like projectile. A 2x4 spacer block clamped to the fence will will give the cut off piece enough room to rattle around without binding and being thrown back. Stay safe.
Nice Vid, Try turning the guard away from the shower of sparks when cutting with the angle grinder getting sparks in the face can be nasty..
Good Work, Well done
What´s the material of the bar? Iron? It would be nice if made from Aluminum. Great video!
For this one not sure exactly what type of steel it is. Aluminum is nice because it's light, but I like to be able to flip rocks and logs with the hook if possible and aluminum can bend pretty easily. Thanks for watching!
how can I make with out tool's
Very well done and high quality, but it's more convenient for the common-DIYer to just use an old golf club and bend a piece of scrap metal for the end.
Or use the head from a paint roller and shove that into the golf club.....
However, easier isnt as nice nor as personal.
I would make one i f I had the stuff to make one
What type of metal do you start off with?
Just a simple steel rod from the hardware store.
Mild steel?
Why didn't use a rounded piece of wood in the first place ?
Coat the handle and metal in something (epoxy) to seal it, or you'll eventually deal with rust and rotting... trust me.
Or switchout the iron for aluminum.
+Bref Stank The handle was well oiled so no problem with rot, we also ended up painting the steel to avoid rust and to give it a cool look. Thanks for watching! -Josh

It looks like a really nice job, but unless you have thousands of dollars worth of power tools and some place to permanently mount them it is kind of limited as a DIY project. Nevertheless, it's clear how to do the work, it is well photographed, and reasonably simple. You may wish to put a disclaimer at the beginning and end of the tape about seeking instruction in the safe use of a snake hook from a local herpetological society. It is more difficult to use safely than it may appear to be. Other possible sourses for training would be someone already posessing adequate and/or significant training at a nearby college, university or non-urban high school. Outstanding job!!!!!
Truthfully, he only used a sander ($50), a blow torch ($20), a grinder ($40), and a drill ($20)... he used a power saw but you can do without the power. It's all really cheap tools and nothing that requires too much space to set up.
what is this music it's stuck in my head now
