New Scoop Project (Completed)

camb1 · Jul 10, 2008

Been working on a new scoop over the weekend. Just thought I would post to see what everyone thinks. I did not realize how much work there is building one. 12 inches deep, 9 inches wide and 6 inches high. I still need to make foot rest and drill holes in top. I can't wait to try it.

Now that looks SOLID!
I like something I can put my foot into.
What size are the holes (that are too small)?

Thanks Halfspeed for the tip.

Holes are 7/16ths and I am going to drill to 1/2.

It is 1/16 aluminium alloy and is very strong. I tried it over the weekend and it was stronger than I expected, but I need to drill larger holes for better drainage of wet sand.

If it was me I would keep the holes small in the bottom on the foot pad end so you can catch the small gold earrng studs, some have diamonds remember.......I added a aluminum mesh (for covering rain gutters) to my Beach Brute II scoop on the bottom (1/4) and back side (1/5) below footpad just for that reason, it still drains very well.........
