Metal fence post and method of making

A method of making a fence post comprising;

• the step of marking a long rectangular strip of metal at points therealong to be metal worked, then the step of punching holes at appropriate points along the center line of said strip, the further step of bending the strip along the center line to an approximately 100.degree. included angle, next the step of bending inwardly each of the edges of the partially formed post at approximately a 110.degree. included angle to form a post of generally polygon shape with one open side portion so that said post will resist twisting and bending when driven and erected, the additional step of providing a small rectangular strip of metal, cutting two corners of said rectangular member from the lengthwise side thereof to form a basic triangular anchoring plate, welding said anchoring plate to the open side portion of the polygon shaped post, and the further step of sharpening the lower slanted edges of the anchoring plate as well as the lower edges of the post itself to make the force necessary for driving same even less.
