How to make a good snow shovel: A manufacturing guide

How to make a good snow shovel: A manufacturing guideDacha possessions covered with a layer of snow-white shaggy snow - a truly fabulous image, which is allowed for hours to see, sitting by the window with a cup of tea. However, sometimes it is necessary to leave for the street, but not for the sake of aesthetic meditations, but for the purpose of harvesting snow deposits from the garden paths and car parking. To stretch the muscles and clear the terrain will help the shovel for the sake of snow removal - the tool is primitive, but very useful.

Пошаговая разработка производства лопаты
Покупные изделия неплохи: крепкие, прекрасные, легкие. Однако почему желание не смастерить лопату ради снега своими руками? Фактически безвыездно инструменты и материалы дозволено отыскать неуклонно для даче, а для работу будет нужно только 2-3 часа. В итоге получаем экономию времени и средств, однако самое суть – воздаяние через собственного труда.Достоинства древесной лопаты для лик: она легкая сообразно сопоставлению с железной, достаточно крепкая, а самое суть — подходящая ради самостоятельного производстваSpeech I - Preliminary stop
The basis is rather to serve ordinary plywood. Its dimensions may differ: if a shovel is created for an adult person, a square of 50x50 cm will fit, for the sake of a child's instrument it is quite 30x30 cm. The plywood element is fixed for cutting a board cut from a workpiece, the length of which is equal to the width of the shovel (50 cm or 30 cm) . For the handle, you need a rod or a narrow long bar (about 2 m).
Apart from the main materials, you will need a narrow iron board and a fastening element - ordinary nails. You see, all things are simple things that a single person can find in the household. Special tools are also not necessary, you need a saw (jigsaw), plane, nazhdachka, hammer, pliers. The room of work depends on the weather. On a good day you are allowed to assume unswervingly for the street, putting out carpentry near the house. In the bad weather, no matter what kind of economic building is suitable
Speech II - The action of the end part
Take the unprocessed piece of board and saw off the part needed for the production of an unnamed"Base for the sake of fixing the plywood sheet. Rubankom we plan the workpiece from all sides, so that it becomes smooth. With a pencil, we plot the contours of the future detail - we draw an arc from one side, the second remains unbiased. The width of the middle is 8 cm, the edges are 5 cm.
Seven times measure, the only one cut off - this saying seems to be impossible. For the sake of clear calculations, use a ruler, a square and a pencil.
Remove the excess tree species and get a trimmed end. For the processing of tree species, together with hand tools, it is permissible to extract electronic ones: the efficiency of work increases, and the property gets better
Speech III - Finishing cuttings
In advance it is necessary to find, which forms are rather a shaft of a product, because at snow-removing shovels both round, and rectangular cuttings are allowed to meet. We will produce a handle with a rectangular cross-section,From the appropriate according to the length of the edging board or the slats, we cut out for the beginning a two-meter piece with a width of about 4.5 cm. See, because the tree species does not contain knots - these are critical, weak places that will be broken first. Do not be afraid, if there is a short slant along the whole length (a discrepancy in width) - this does not affect the strength and comfort of the cuttings. If the shovel share the shovels to attach to the cuttings near the right angle, it is rather easy to do. For the sake of snow removal, such inventory will require much less forces
If the side of the skin to eat, remove it, then we plan the workpiece, leaving, but little rounding the ribs. End the sanding of the cutting, giving it a smoothness. Unprocessed parts should not be preserved, because they are allowed to hurt their hands.
Speech IV - Cutting out the opening
In order to secure the stalk firmly in the end part, you must cut the clearance. It is located at the center of the detail, and the width of the cut corresponds to the width (or diameter) of the cut. It will turn out more accurately, if you need to cut out the gap with a jig saw, and then remove the chisel.
The abyss of the opening from different sides should be different: 4 cm and 4.5 cm. A half centimeter leaves for the bevel, which ensures an impeccable planting of the cuttings. The angle of inclination of the soviet part is entirely dependent on this bevel, it can exist differently - this depends on the growth of the person and the manner in which he works with the shovel. The difference in half a centimeter is very comfortable for the majority of people, therefore it is permissible for it to slow down. The woody breed is a soft and flexible substance, therefore it should be done with care. One incorrect move - and the procurement is quite defective
Next, we should outline, according to which the strip should block the stalk. For this, you need a square. Accurately cut off the unnecessary length, with all this, because of the angle of the cut - the bevel for the cuttings is forced to the same with the gap. We connect the two parts, checking the work.
V-staging - Shovel assembly
All parts are prepared, it is allowed to start because of the shovel assembly for the sake of snow. Kus plywood prikolachivaem to the end. Only the three nails will be needed: the only nail in the center, the two at the sides. Before joining the plywood and the end part, you should find the middle of both parts and hammer the main bait steadily according to the center, and then the other two - on the sides >
It is allowed to extract one dexterity, which will allow to keep the plywood through splitting. We bite off the sharp parts of the carnations, and their mediocre ending does not quite divide the fibers of the plywood, but simply break them. No part of the product should be closely bounded by a well-wisher to a friend, if the cracks and cracks get a little sediment. Damp will spoil the wood species
We take roulette and calculate the location of the attachment of the cuttings to the plywood. Note the places of clogging cloves for the back side of the soviet part, and then nail the handle to the plywood. This is the guilty moment, because inaccurate marking threatens deviations of the cuttings. It is difficult to make such inventory - the snow shovel rather incessantly inclines one way.
For the sake of strength, the shovel should strengthen it with iron strips. Completely suitable zinc coated iron, left through the repair of the roof. To be his absence, simple cans of canned food will fit. Tin cans for the sake of work are always allowed to find in the summer fridge or cellar. For the cutting of the cans for the strip scissors according to metal will be useful
For cutting the bottom edge, cut the tape a little more than the width of the shovel - 55-60 cm. Width - 6 cm. Bend the cut piece along in half and get the edge , which must be worn for the Soviet shovels from below and fixed. In order for the metal to fit tightly to the plywood, it is driven by several hammer blows. To work with metal bands, work gloves should be worn to prevent injury, as well as canvas gloves or garden gloves.
The side pieces of metal protrude from the sides, then fasten the edge with 3 nails. Nails should pierce through, the excess parts bend. Similarly, we upholster the end of the iron stripe. Then screw the shank in the central part of the plywood, and strengthen the connection room on the back with a small piece of metal. In the process of working with screws, it is purposeful to use an electric drill. It will go much faster, and holes for the screws will preserve the integrity of the tree species
The shovel is ready, and there will be no more questions, like doing a spare shovel or like making a small shovel for the sake of a baby. The wooden shovel should be kept in a warm room, but far through the heating devices - a veranda or a corridor. To be properly stored, the gun will last more than 5 seasons.
Other options
If the dose is considered a rest area and there are difficulties with materials and tools, shovel in the store. There is a piece of product options - iron, plastic, wood.
