    Looks a smart job, a bit smaller gauge though. What did you use for the prongs? For cutting roots i used a bulldog graft, cut the shaft off and welded 5ft of 1/2" solid bar onto it. Weighs a ton but worth carrying it on the deep stiff digs.

    Machined them from solid high carbon steel they're almost the same diameter as the real thing just slightly different taper. But the brace in the middle is a bit off rushed that bit... Should do the job OK. Digging here is usually easy going but rather have it there to be safe one day it'll come in use I'm sure! 

  2. Save you arsing about searching...I'm no pro welder but I can stick metal together well enough for shifting soil. It Can be done on any steel Shafted shovel and no reason why it should be any weaker if done right. If you want the method to take into a local weld shop no worries just shout
