Cheers for this, relatively new to hobby, but refuse to pay through the nose for proper MD spades. Just about to start making my without much thought but so glad I found this. Simple things like full size template first, only cut out one side to ensure perfect symmetry. Only change I will make is using double sided tape to keep template in place each time. Once again, thanks for taking the time to produce and share.
Bob Dunn apparently it's to help ripping through roots as it works like a saw so can be handy around trees but that's just up to the individual, so of your happy without the seated edge that's fine. happy hunting.
That is outstanding, if shipping wasn't so much, I would love to have one of these. It looks like this would make it so much easier to dig while dirt fishing, being handicapped and all. Nice job. Semper Fi
This is as you say a problem with the size it would probably be costly to post and it would also need to be tracked and signed for that will also add to cost. and thanks for comment.
Great job. I never though of doing this. Wish i had of bought a stainless steel shovel at Bunnings. Looks like another trip next pay lol. I really enjoyed this video. Thanks.
Absolutely belting job that mate, so many people nowadays either cant be arsed or just rush and do a cowboy job, you can confidently be proud of your work on that, just ordered a spear & jackson stainless border spade to have a go myself. I'll be well chuffed if it comes out as nice as yours.
Back inthe 80's, my Dad( Operating Engineer for Kraft Research ) made 3 Golf Clubs..2 drivers at 7 & 10 degree lofts and a Putter.. Using the shafts from our former Clubs.. after some fine tuning to and from the driving range? They were Super, but Banned from using with is League.. I tried to get them Patented with no luck.. 3 yrs later guess what came out into the Market? I have them Mounted and on display.. Them WWII Navy Guys are always thinking..;-) When I got a Elec. Power Scooter? I hooked it up to my Small Lawn Mower and then Proceeded to Ride around my small ( 1500 Sq Ft) yard to cut the Grass for the 1st time in my life.. and the wife and kids didn't have too and I didn't let them do it after that..and Started my Own LM business.. Of course Playing on the Wounded Vet routine, but Had gave 20% Discounts and would cut EOW not Every Week that is what we all wanted.. I got dozens calling and asking me to do theirs..I've since Got a Ryboi Cordless LM and Trimmer and got 25 Customers and Saving them $ and making it for me and my Family and have my Pride again..

Ed Holley I had a request from a Detectorist to make and sell them one so just finished it and started another 3 just in case £30 just for the head so they can shaft it there self or £40 for full finished made to size required pick up only at moment.
Got myself a spade almost identical to yours, going to give it a go as I've been out today and the ground is so hard need something that's going to penetrate through. Just hope I get your template right lol.
Hi great video and really cool result , Can I ask you if there is any way anyone can get the template ? The reason I ask is I would like to have a go at doing one myself , I do not know if you would charge for this ? I just think it is a great idea . cheers
@@TheYjmfan good luck and just don't rush it. Its always better finishing off with the file to get a nice neat line and the right angle all along, its surprising how much material a good file takes off. I just keep filing until each tooth becomes a blade but dont grind it down to a blade with a grinder or you will have to keep filing after they become blades to get the grind marks out and may mess the teeth up. I now have made a belt grinder that speeds thing up as I grind most of the material off with the belt grinder to the point just before it become shape leaving a bit of a flat edge on then finish off with the file to get the edge and the perfect angle. 👍
i have no problem doing another as i have already made most of the spade head, the problem is i am in the uk and im not sure what the postage to the us would be but if you really wanted me to find out i could make another up and check what it would cost at the post office.
RIO DETECTING I do sell them for £45 and pickup from Wigan area as or post and postage cost added on. I do have one ready for the shaft but would need to know the full length required from top of handle to point of blade. Also the one I have ready is the other blade I show in the video, the round neck one, not the strap one.
The best looking metal detecting spade I've ever seen.
thanks.
love your sense of details , looks great .
Thanks
Spot on 👌
Very nice!
This tutorial Is very much appreciated. thank you.

Bob Dunn your welcome thanks for reply.
@@WALLACE7084 I've completed mine without the serrated edges. What are the benefits apart from self protection 😀

Your camera work on the cutting is excellent mate. And the finished article is a credit to you. Well done all round.

Thanks for this, was thinking about doing something similar. I think I would leave the teeth off mine as I only detect fields.
bloody great spade

WALLACE7084
I'd love one but can't pick up. With a steel shaft. They look incredable
Great job
Thanks

Just hope I get your template right lol.
VERY PROFESSIONAL VIDEO AND FINELY MADE TOOLS. ATB HH GL
Sean Smith Thanks
What a fantastic job mate, absolutely brilliant well done. You can start your own business up
GL&HH
Paul
lol thanks
i know I'm kind of randomly asking but do anybody know of a good place to stream newly released series online?
@Marcelo Kairo Flixportal =)
@Joshua Arthur Thank you, I went there and it seems like a nice service =) I appreciate it !!
@Marcelo Kairo Happy to help :D
Cool 👍
Am I the first person to ask "Can you make me one?" LOL.. Great video.
No your not the first person and I do sell them on occasion for £45 but you have to pickup in Wigan or I can post but postage will be added on.
Very well done bud, seen you on the Facebook groups, good work.
Tanks
OMG mate that's awesome ATB&HH NIGE ☺
thanks pal i intend to make a few more when i get around to it and been thinking of some other design to make that may be beneficial for detecting.
Hi, great job, well impressed, where abouts do you live so i can buy one off you, i live in leigh near wigan, are you in the north west, cheers Gareth
Yes I'm only in Wigan but I don't have any made up at the moment but I can let you know when I have.

The template would really depend on the size of spare you have if it was the same size as mine it shouldn't be a problem.
Hi I’ve just cut my digger to size do you suggest the teeth going upwards? Thanks
Yes if you mean like i have done it basically works like a saw blade with the teeth facing forward to make the cut.
WALLACE7084 thanks very much my one is tempered steel. And that’s how I’ve now marked them, ready for cutting.

Nice Shovel and Saw Combination.. Like to buy one.. The One I bought from WAL MART is ok, but for $40 its fine, but I'd pay $100 for a Handmade one.
i have no problem doing another as i have already made most of the spade head, the problem is i am in the uk and im not sure what the postage to the us would be but if you really wanted me to find out i could make another up and check what it would cost at the post office.
Hey Cool . . . Me . . . You same . . . I just did a Metal Detecting Shovel Mod as well . . . but a world apart . . . I'm gonna Sub Ya . . . GL & HH !
I really liked this bulldozer. If you are selling, post the purchase link. big hug

Hey great video. Do you start with a digging spade or a border spade
It's a normal digging spade.
Do you sell these? Their very nice!!👍
I have sold 3 £45 plus post or pickup if possible.
WALLACE7084 how much is that in US dollars?
$55.46 and whatever post it.
WALLACE7084 can you find out how much to ship to Flint, Michigan USA
@@robertvanalstine4963 ok will do.
Brilliant video, what blade do you use on the angle grinder? Thank in advance
Thanks for comment. I always use a 1mm thick blade to get a fine cut.
