Thanks mate, glad you enjoyed it.
Good job there, bet you were pumped after finishing that.![]()
A few posts earlier I advised how to get a drill bit that will drill the hardened steel of the spade.
But you worked it out, thats the great thing with a good DIY project, nothing ever really stops you.
Usually I would grind the sharpened edge on the front of the blade, but it should make no major difference,
frankly never have ground it on the back to try it.![]()
Tell me how it cuts after you use it please.
Spades -
When I chased Bunnings here, I had to go to 3 different stores and just found a couple of those cheapies,
apparently they are occasional specials, a couple of times a year, and sell out fast.
One store said they only got 3 into stock! Hmmmm....![]()
Hello Green hornet
Thanks for your reply! Yes I did not grind the other side because that famous Lesche Digging Too has only one side is sharpen.... I have not used it yet to dig for metal detecting but I made holes in my backyard lawn.... for no reason but just try it out. It cuts of but lawn is soft so I am not sure how it perform in real situations. But I am sure I will be making another ones.... I do`nt know why I thrive on making or modifying things and little project like these! I was not aware how much noise I was making during the process because I was wearing eye muff. Neighbor from hell, I hope not!
Thank you!!!
