I made a thing
 
Remake steel rigid forks for disc only.
Total price that fork- $ 19 with black matt color ;)
His can use for 26" and 28" wheels

I don't see the point in
buying a new fork,
blasting off the powdercoat,
grinding off the brake studs,
and welding on disk tabs

When you can just buy a new fork that has disk tabs to begin with.
In one step.

Now if this was a Frame modification I can understand, but this is a Brand New Fork we're talking about.

Note that the OP is in Ukraine, where disc forks may not be as readily available.
Dunnoh. In some situations time is more available than $, although I would
be a bit concerned about the disc torquing the wheel out of the dropouts.

If disc brakes are available, I have to think the forks are too.

Some people like to tinker and try things, regardless of practicality.

Without innovation, what would this world be like in today's times?

Liked the video. I love modifying equipment to suit my purposes exactly. Sometimes the mods are undertaken to correct crappy design.
