Hi Guys! I am Looking For People To Help Me Figure Out Ideas And Ways On How To Make Some New Beach Rakes/Shovel/Scoops/Sifters.

Might I ADD This Is For BEACH SIFTING IN SOFT SAND... SO I DO NOT NEED IT TO BE SOMETHING FOR HARD SAND OK!

What I Have is some Heavy Duty Style Chicken Wire That I Had Found, And What I Did Was I Went To Went To Walmart and Bought a Net For Fishing, and Cut The Net off, and Then Attached The Wire To It.. So What I Was Wondering Is This....

Is There Anybody That Could Help Me Make Some Really Neat and Usable Beach Rakes?
I was Wondering if anyone Would Have Any Ideas on What I Could Do With The Materials I have Supplied in the Pictures
I Have The Chicken Style Wire, Not To Mention Plenty of Tools To Build Them, As Well As Maybe Some Items I could Use as Handles.

As You Could See I Have Already Made One... I Made A Nice Little small One That I am Looking To Try Out, But I Would Like Some Of Your Ideas!!

So Please, All input would Be Appreciated!! Please Let Me Know What You Guys Think! And What Ideas You Might Have!
Also I am Looking to make a Rake That would Act As A Shovel That I Could Dig Into the Soft Sand at the Beach To Use as A Sifter

i thought of that, but i have so many sturdy plastic items with holes i custom made myself, i got tired of the weakness of them some. since the i have made the scoop deeper and it works amazing! it is cut in formation where it what like 2 odd triagles opposite of each other, and trhen i stitched them together. but i am hoping it last a little while anyways, its holding up well and scooping excellent.i like that its deeper now that i hammered in some. thanks so much for your help and your ideas, i will try to use them in general.

iforgot to mention ,i ripped out all of the metal of the old design and the new design i was referring to above

you could make something v shaped ...weighted... with wheels... and a handle. just pull it and the weight would make the v dig in down to the wheels. probably a couple of inches down and the sand and objects would be strained.

I like the fan to spin it around and cut a wider path.
The lights help you see at night also right?
