DIY "Sampson" digger

Some super work! I do have a question with regards to your gooseneck and over-engineering something just because you can..👍 It is really difficult to tell from the pictures but is the thickness of the tubing the same as the shovel blade? Not that I think it would ever cause a problem, but if it is, then do you think that the tubing from the end of your weld to where you would insert the handle tube become a weak point over time?
 
Looks great! I'm just curious how that pointed tip will hold up after some heavy use. Keep us posted.

I've been able to use it a few times, nothing too rocky yet. It is holding up good so far. it is a tad heavy at about 4-5 pounds.
