How to make a shovel?

An amazing thing is to make something with your own hands. Of course, today on the product market, you can find anything, but, sometimes, in order to save and even improved qualitative characteristics of the required product, you need to think about the possibility of independently manufacturing a particular item. Today we are Pogim about how you can independently create such a tool as a shovel. Find out what you need to know for this, and what materials will be needed.

Requirements for manufacture

This kind of tools are usually made of wood, metal or plastic. It also includes handles and small wheels on the ladle in order to make it easier to move this design. Users also very much like automatic type mechanisms for snow removal, the basis of which are rotary type engines.

No matter how shovels, there are a number of characteristics to which it, in obligatory, should be responsible (these nuances must be taken into account when independently manufacturing tool):

• There is a major load on the bucket, so it should be durable, from a material that can withstand regular snow loads.
• The length of the handle should be calculated on the basis of the depth of the bucket shovels, in order for the movement along the snow it is easier
• The presence of a handle at the end of the handle is necessarily, it is also desirable to be inserted from rubber
• Growth should also be considered when creating a tool under consideration, because this criterion should affect the length of the steer itself, so that the expansion of the shovel is practical and convenient.

In order for the shovel to be really high-quality and I have not inferior to a purchased tool, you need to listen to the recommendations of specialists who know the sense in this case:

• If it is possible to abandon the folding handle, it is better to do this, because such a design of the handle is an order of magnitude reduces the strength of the snow removal shovel. Some make the handle folding due to the simplified transportation of the shovel, but besides that, in such a handle, there are no more advantages.
• Do not forget that the physical data of the user must be taken into account when choosing a bucket width. Make it too big, it means to complicate the process of snow cleaning, but if it is too small - the productivity of work with it will be reduced by an order. Of course, on the bucket with a greater snow width, it is placed much more, but this is not a sense from this number, if the user cannot even raise it.
• Before making shovels, you need to learn the following rule - the more convenient your shovel will be, the more snow and faster, you can remove it.

Traditional version of shovels for snow cleaning

The easiest option for self-making is a design of wood, an order of magnitude more difficult to "create" designs of plastic or metal. Creating snow rollers is the work of real specialists, so you need to choose the corresponding level of difficulty in individual capabilities and skills.

Consider the phased production of snow removal shovels from wood and plywood, and to begin with, we will define what materials we need to implement our ideas in reality:

• plywood Sheet (Alternative OSB List)
• wooden board size 80 * 500 mm
• aluminum strips
• the stalk (usually bought it in the finished form, you can find it in any building of building materials)

The tools required in the process of manufacturing shovels:

• paper emery
• lobzik
• selfless
• small carnations
• screwdriver
• pilk
• impregnation for wood

Phased production:

• We begin with the manufacture of the base of the bucket. To do this, it will be necessary from the plywood sheet (the thickness of which should not be more than 6mm) cut the base of the bucket (for such purposes it will be needed). The optimal standard base size will be 500 * 500 mm.
• We begin to drink from the wood of a piece in the form of a crescent, the length of which should be 500 mm. Do not forget that the center make 80mm, and the side of 50 mm.
• In the center of the crescent make the through hole, the diameter of which must correspond to the size of the selected cutting.
• It will be necessary to mount the handle at an angle, it is for this that you need to make a hole with a bevel. After that, insert the handle into the hole made and determine the length of the length of the cuttings itself (given the growth of the user).
• The sawmill inverting the cuttings for the desired length and necessarily grind the sandpaper, prepared in advance.

• Cooked crescent (his back) from a tree and a carved sheet of plywood fasten with small carnations.
• Directly in the center of the scoop, portray the line on which the row fastener will occur.
• The cooked cutlets are inserted into the through hole and is mandatoryly aligned with the line drawn in the center, after which it is firmly firmly on the self-tapping screw.
• In order for plywood does not burst, you need to drill a hole. Do not forget that you need to attach a strip of aluminum along the bottom edge to, as expected, strengthen the scoop. In order for everything to work out as it should, you need to bend the strip twice, put on the bucket and slightly hit it with a hammer (count the strength of the blow so as not to spill the entire design). So that the rake was tightly pressed to the bucket, it is better to kill several carnations throughout its perimeter.

• You also need to strengthen the compound of plywood sheet and the back wall, for this we use the second aluminum rail, the third, in turn, will be needed for a strong compound of the handle and a bucket.
• After the design is ready, you need to not forget to carefully treat it impregnation for the tree so that neither the fungus, nor moisture, do not affect the fortress shovels for snow cleaning. After it is processed. It is necessary to leave it alone for 24 hours (the optimal option is 48 hours). Two days later, it is possible to operate it in full program.

Save money

In order to save on an independent manufacture of shovels even more, you can use the following tricks:

• Come on the pilor and ask a small piece of plywood, you will be given it completely free, because such a piece that you need, there, goes to waste, so that they will not be impoverished and you do not have to buy a whole sheet.
• If you do not want to spend money on a stalk, look in the garage or barn an unnecessary tool and take the finished cutter from there, or make it with your own hands.
• Aluminum strips can be obtained by cutting out of cans (canned)
• If you have paint left, you can easily use it as impregnation.

As it was possible to make sure of the above information, there is nothing easier and cheaper than to make a shovel to clean the snow with your own hands, so do not be lazy and make a useful thing, especially since this process will not take exactly this process.

A visual mapping allowance such a shovel can be found on the Internet, so, in principle, all conditions have been created to simplify the process of independently manufacturing such a wonderful assistant.
