Can someone explain how to make something like this uniform to where it stays the same width all the way around the part, I understand after one is made, I can duplicate to keep them the same but i am not sure how to keep the metal all the same size Let's say i need these 2 inches wide all the way round. Thanks for any help and if there is a video out there the link would be great.

Not quite sure what your asking. You just want to increase the dimension of the hooks and them both to be the same size?

I think I do understand what you are asking.
This could be easily facilitated using an "offset tool". Of course once you have done the offset, you would need to edit to add the point to the end.

Here is how I would do it using Fusion 360.

Thanks David, the offset option is one I was not familiar with in Fusion and could have used in the past. Thanks for posting this ![Like :Like](./images/smilies/icon_new_like.gif)

You are quite welcome Plasmanewbie! The offset tool is also available in several other popular programs. Here are examples using LightBurn (the quickest and easiest to do), CorelDraw, and Inkscape.
