Good Day,
So the other day I am washing out an empty gallon of milk to put in the recycling. Then I had an epiphany. "Hey, I bet I could make this into a sand digger!" It already has a handle, and talk about the possibility of a wide opening! Then I started thinking a little more. "Hmmm, does seem a bit thin and pliable. Ooh, how about two jugs together!" So here is what I am thinking... (have to wait for the next empty gallon to experiment with...) Take two empty gallons of milk. Keep the "interior" gallon intact. Take the second gallon and cut it from top to bottom along the length of the handle. Then cut the bottoms off both gallons at the same angle so as to form a point on the "digger". Take the cut digger and place it over the interior gallon. Then... using a heat gun carefully melt the two together into one solid unit. Should be pretty stout by then I would think... Then drill holes as needed to let the sand out and hopefully find your target in the scoop. When complete i will post a picture...
