Default I modified a store bought digger
This thing cuts thru large roots like a chain saw. I went to my local body shop used a cut off wheel, grinder and MIG welder.

Imagine the looks you'll get if you take that to a city park?

That's a mean looking digger. Nice job.

Now whatcha got to do is make a template from your design, copyright it then sell the template for 99 cents for people to modify their shovels....or take orders and make them and ship 'em...they look good, go find some clay soil and check it out...could be a nice shovel....alas i bought a new one yesterday so now i got a lesche 38" for a while...but this looks good

Handles hard packed clay like a knife thru warm butter, still have to jump on it but I am happy with how it work, plus I had fun making it.
