This is a badge bit (BB) that is part of the PEP curriculum.  Completing this BB is part of getting the sand badge in Metal Working.

When you have a tractor or similar piece of heavy equipment, it's nice to be able to hook a chain on for lifting logs or other heavy stuff.  Buckets and scoops don't often have attachment points for chains.  Let's change that!

Here's a guy not wearing quite enough clothing for the job welding hooks onto an excavator bucket:


Similar idea for a tractor bucket (more clothes on this guy):


To document your completion of the BB, provide the photos or video (<2 min) of the following:
 - The supplies you're starting with
 - Partway through the build
 - The finished hook or clevis welded securely
