Digger 0.1

Some fudging around in the shed and garden.

Seems to work well, needs a ball on the handle and stuff, and obvously some better timber/hardware, but I needed something for hunt #1

Hopefully will hold out for sarvo

Round those top edges TSB so you don't slice your hand open when you are digging into the ground.
have a look at this type,..around $10.00 USUALLY

Yeah, just been looking at those edges and the heel of my palm, don't want them to meed with any force .

Push bike handle grip would work.

 

[TheSilentBugler]

Aye, but haven't got one in the shed.

You'll be right for one day,...sunlight running out,... hit the turf TSB,... sooner rather than later.

Yup, rain is petering off.

I'm out of here, back with unbelievable riches.

Digger seems to work ok, no injuries so far, though I only cut the turf with it, dug with a narrow nylon Fiskars number that I forgot was in the back of the car.
