Mirror the Prong

Activate OSnap

Activate osnap with project and record history.

Duplicate the prong

Use the Mirror command in the Y-axis.

Create a bridge

In the SubD tab (1), use the Bridge command (2).

Select the 10 bottom faces of one prong and its corresponding faces on the mirrored prong.

Set the Segment count to 2.

Adjust the bridge

Like the first basket:

Use Ctrl + Shift to select the top point of the bridge and its edges. Lower the selection slightly to create an arch.

Raise the central point to soften the curve.

Now from the top view, use Mirror command in the XAxis to create the other side.
