New Digger

[Westfront]

With frozen soil covered with snow i went to my shop to make a new diggin shovel. I have made similar ones before for hunting buddies and with that experience i modded this one a little. The handle is a tad longer to save my back, handle made a little thicker to prevent bending and more and smaller teeth to cut through roots. I also added a hook to attach it to my belt when hunting fields with sparse signals... Cost me 2 hours of my time and some surplus stainless steel. I think to powdercoat it black too. What do You think?

How much?

Close to 2 hours including time for the template and some scrap metal. If i would sell them, it would translate to around 50 bucks because of the cost of stainless steel...

That's a nice digger. Don't sell yourself short at $50. Your time is worth way more than that if you can make quality items like that.
