Well, this is my first attempt at a sand scoop. Very rough and sharp, pretty dangerous actually, but I will be careful...
1) Take your favorite empty can of coffee.
2) Draw onto the can your design.
3) Take an industrial pair of snippers/cutters and cut out your design.
4) File the rough, sharp edges of the can to prevent metal splinters.
5) Draw on the can where you want sand-flow holes.
6) Use a small drill bit to get the holes started and finish each hole with a large bit.
7) Peel off the can's display
8) File each hole and tamp down the where the holes are to prevent slicing.
And the final project should look a little bit like the images below, I didn't do as well as I hoped for but for dry sand I think it will be OK. I still need to add on a shaft to it. I was hoping some fellow builders out there could conjure up some good shaft ideas. All ideas/thoughts are appreciated, thanks for looking!
