Overview
A DIY build log showing one owner's process of welding salvaged forklift tines and scrap C-channel into a pallet fork attachment for roughly $150, designed to fit a Kubota BX23S quick-attach loader. It walks through each fabrication stage, cutting, plasma work, plate notching, reinforcing, and painting, with real material specs called out along the way. Best for handy owners considering a budget build rather than buyers evaluating commercial forks.
