[QUOTE="Goldpick, post: 139294, member: 1695"] Nice design Ryan, very similar to my Indiana scoop except for the pointed front. If I can make a suggestion, the first area on my scoop that failed (stress cracks in the welds) was the front edges on the top of the scoop (see pic), some extra bracing here will make a world of difference to the longevity of the scoop. Also the section highlighted in the rectangle eventually snapped clean in half, so don't skimp on metal thickness in this spot. Good luck with the build. :) [img]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/1695/1425661995_img_20150307_034311.jpg[/img] [/QUOTE]
