Half tank/Half scoop! I admire your ingenuity! Make sure to get some nice shots or a vid of it in action!

 

[Stang12]

Yes, I made the scoop. Glad you all like it.

Looks tuff.... just drilling the holes must have taken a month of sundays. Necessity ..... the mother of invention.

The drilled part is aluminum , isn't it ? With a stainless lip ? That's how it looks to me.

[size=medium]The body is aluminum, with a stainless lip. It weights 5lbs.
It was milled and drill on a CNC machine[/size]

Somebody has either a mig with a spool gun or a tig welder along with a plasma cutter and a metal brake! Nice looking scoop.....I bet it will dig really well with that stainless lip.

What gauge aluminum did you use? I bet with an aluminum handle you could shave about a pound or two off the weight of that scoop. Yeah wood is nice cause it floats....but hey....I've got a metal detector so if I drop in the water....I'd better be able to find it!

Those CNC machines are the cats butt! Really makes professional looking cool things to use. And your scoop is definitely a cool looking thing to use!

I decided I needed a handle on the basket. This handle can be removed if needed.

Perfect! Looks like a stealth ship
The handle is a good idea, but one must higher position. Help you lift up the scoop from the bottom.
Did you made blueprint?

That's some tight work John . . . very nicely engineered. I'll bet it works great for you . . .

Looks like a goodun. Thanks for posting it.

Looks good. But, you're going to need to raise your grab handle up about a foot and a half. Otherwise , your head is gonna be underwater every time you reach for it.
