[QUOTE="hyperscott, post: 299165, member: 7623"] Took to the shed today and cut up my last spade to make one of these. Will be calling into bunning on the way home one night to grab a couple more, the $9 shovel long and short D handle ones look good for this purpose. Do you normally temper the shovel head after doing this? I.e. heat then cool in oil This is how mine turned out, will be using this soon. (Not tempered figured would try with out first) Hoping it goes alright broke 3 drill bits trying to drill the holes. cordless drill and cheap bits no match for the shovel.

If any one knows please let me know for future. Regards Scott ( HyperScott / Blazesurfer ) [/QUOTE]
