I made a new shovel for myself because I was wanting something a little longer and wider than my lesche shovel. I used 3/16" flat bar stock for the blade and 1" type M copper tubing for the shaft and handle. I also attached a copper bus bar that I had hanging around so that I could hang the shovel from my belt when needed. I've been using it in the woods lately and it works great. I might make another style but with 1/8" flat stock instead of the 3/16" to lighten it up a little. I used tig for the whole project. Thanks for looking.
