Standard shovels of a rectangular shape are mainly intended for loading / unloading bulk materials, mixing cement-sand mortars, as well as garbage collection on the territory of the house or summer cottage.
However, with the help of a simple home-made device, the scope of their application can be expanded - for example, a shovel can be used to dig a trench in the area. In this case, you do not have to further align the side walls.
Also, using this simple homemade product, you can quickly dig a garden - unlike a bayonet shovel, the shovel tray has more. The device itself is an emphasis for the leg, which is put on the handle.
How to focus on shovels
For this homemade product the following materials will be required: a piece of steel strip, a rectangular metal plate and a bent channel. First of all, with the help of a grinder, we make a small semicircular slot in the plate and weld to it a piece of the channel of the desired size at an angle of 90 degrees.
From the opposite side to the walls of the channel you need to weld pieces of steel strip, located slightly at an angle to each other. To strengthen the structure, we weld two pieces of triangular metal to the plate and channel. After this connection, we clean the grinding disc for the grinder.
If desired, the surface of the resulting part can be painted with spray paint. That, in fact, is all the work. We put the foot rest on the handle of a shovel and you can dig trenches or just dig a garden. For a detailed process of making this homemade product, see the video on the website.
