It's a hoe that has a tiny rake on it? Buy a hoe, buy a rake surely?

Well a small run of tooling would cost about £50 anyway.
Cut one out of steel yourself and get somebody to weld it to a stick?

Weld it to a stick ?

Won't the wood burn?

Apart from the, 'weld it to a stick' notion...

Who the **** has the capacity to easily cut and shape tools out of steel?

Be careful when looking at hoes on the web, you can get told off by the mrs

It's a tool so perfect for building bike trails in the middle of woodland

The rake section is used for clearing brambles/top soil, the hoe section for digging/cutting through roots, and the back of it is perfect for packing down berms and jumps

Add this to the fact that we bike to our trails most of the time, this does loads of jobs in one neat package

Anyone work with metal wanna give me a quote for one lol?

Well I've got a bandsaw, a powered hacksaw, a cutoff grinder and various other bits and bobs. Doesn't everyone? :confused:

Although there is a laser cutting shop down the road, that would be ideal :cool:

I meant weld it to the metal stick thing, a shank I think it's called

Bahahaha xD

Honestly, if anyone does work with metal, i'm after a couple so e-mail me in trust

Mark A · 19 Mar 2012 at 00:35

I doubt someone would be able to make you one. I'd imagine the steel would need to be hardened and tempered.

Lethagized · 19 Mar 2012 at 00:42

It's a fire rake. Looks like it's another one of those things you wished we had over here for a decent price, but they're only available in america for half of our price. It's happened to me many times before.
