I decided to build my own digging shovel and got a short handled shovel from Lowe's HIW - this one:
Short Shovel
The blade is 6" wide and I want to narrow it. There are LOTS of videos on YouTube showing HOW to cut a shovel blade but I have not been able to find any dimensions on any website.
I also looked at commercial units and found very few that list the blade dimensions. Only the Ground Shark does and it is 3.5" X 7" and I thought that to be a bit on the shy side.
If anyone has a commercial digger would you mind measuring the width and length of the blade to give me an idea on how big the blade should be when I am done?
Thanks
