I made this scoop in March of 2011.....Figuring I'd do a quick dirty job just to test the concept out...Ordered two Ice scoops from some kitchen supply place for $30 total, figured I better get two just in case the first effort fails...Cut all the aluminum with a woodworking jigsaw, used some of that Alumaweld and a propane torch to tin the joints and front edge....All the components are dovetailed and keyholed into each other, so its held together more by tension than the 'welds'....
I've been using this thing very hard, year round even hammering through frozen sand with it as if it were a pick...seems to work just fine...easy to do...I hunt Lake Michigan and inland lakes with sand/mud/gravel or rock bottoms...I've been waiting for this thing to break so I can do a proper job on a new one..make it cleaner looking and take some time with the holes etc...
