Driveway scraper (and a good laugh)
Very crude, but I took some scrap angle iron I had plus some other things I had on hand, and made a scraper to use on my gravel driveway. All I have to work with is an angle grinder and a stick welder.

Who cares how crude it is,,, How did it work for you? looks a little lite maybe if im not mistaken. Can weight be added? |
Now for the laugh
I was so mad at myself about this, but then realized how humorous it is. I had to reintroduce myself to welding again, it's been awhile. Well, the welding helmet covered my bifocals, and I had the shade too dark. As a result, look at this weld! :ROTF1:
https://i.imgur.com/c2J17cK.jpg?1 I just left it like that. I did get a little better after buying some readers at the dollar store and turning the shade lighter. https://i.imgur.com/udT2Gjz.jpg?1 https://i.imgur.com/SsCMryF.jpg?1 |

I DIYed a driveway scraper,,
it needed a little more "bite", so I added a couple 42 Lb front end weights,, and I pull a set of truck chains behind it,, It does a great job,,, http://i1104.photobucket.com/albums/...psb77b28d8.jpg It also does a great job of spreading "horse pucks",,, :bigthink: |
Driveway scraper looks great.
What are you using, AC or DC? What rod? |
Nice work!
