Super Shovel! Jaimie Style Tools.

[jgarnett09]

That's hilarious dude. i live in Cambodia and we cant buy decent tools here so i did just that. i bought 2 shovel heads, a pick head and two tomahawk heads at the local market and welded pipe handles on.The locals see them and beg for one !

[SirJosephOxford]

3:20-3:32  Awesome.

I break the pole on my snow shovel a couple times a year, thankfully people still buy cheap plastic-bladed shovels and they throw them away with their perfectly good pole because the cheap plastic blade breaks as soon as they try using it in -20 weather, so I have a supply of free poles as long as I scavenge on trashdays :)

[idahodad1]

It would be nice to have a titanium bar for the shovel.

[got2flyaway2]

I dig it

[DrGreenfun]

the shovels break so you have to buy another one, pretty sweet

[JosiahRitchie]

So the handle's good, how long until you have to make a blade? :-)

[LBA1R]

This shovel will be the stuff of legends and folk tales for years to come!

[F0gstridEr]

HA HA HA HA maybe i shoud create a song called super shovel! :) you are so funny!

[taitungknight]

Great stuff! Looks great! I never would have thought of that, as I once used an axe with a steel handle. The damn thing jarred so much my freckles fell off. Guess it's fine for a shovel though!

[madmodders]

Why are the type of shovels mostly used in the states of the kind with just a stick for a handle? I can't see the logic in that. Too much dirt on the blade and the center of gravity is above the handle, and the whole thing tips over. I have actuelly never seen such shovels for sale over here. They all have some kind of handlebar (or whatever it is called) at the top, 90 degrees from the shaft.

[futsalfred2]

Do you have any cool solutions to eliminate vibrations, or are you just gonna run with it?

[MrDeverill]

I think the idea behind the handle not being metal is to prevent vibrations?

[sloppycoder]

@MrDeverill Hmmm, thats more of a spade problem though? Shovels are for moving large volumes of already loose material not pounding into and breaking up hard stuff (although you would'nt think it going by how jamie handles his!! hehehehe! superman i reckon)

[outcastorange]

What would have been idea was to have a steel core in the center, and have a lighter material around that.

Are you going to add some sort of material to it to make it easier to grip?

I don't have much experience with shovels.

[nts9]

Now that is one super shovel for sure, I would put a plate on the top of the handle or drive a chunk of wood in it so it wouldn't injure your hands.

[darkrocker246]

omg 3:20 to 3:33 I just started laughing my ass off XD good work man ohh yeaaah~

[hakachukai]

Reminds me of a digging tool I made a while back. completely indestructible, works great, and is unlike anything I've ever seen.

[newyorksong]

There ya go Buddy! I have a shovel and pipe just like that for 30 YEARS now!!!

I'll have to change the shovel head soon from just beatin the crap out of it but that pipe is SOLID!

Ha take that!  You Dirt you!!!

[Comptekhs]

It would be cool to take the leftover pipe and made a rectangle or square handle and weld it on the end of the pipe for more leverage.

[evilfrogeeo]

atach my username to my name christian :P i think i was the one who break the shovel wen i was helping whit the pound thing wen i visited jaimie

[vinn733]

tooo funny, the ad on your page is for a sawmill..... lol

[carp1844]

I make rustic furniture so half of my implements of destruction have hardwood branches for handles. I shave em down with my draw knife and cut a tenon on the end. A coat of varnish keeps em looking new and strong for a long time. I refuse to go buy a wooden handle for 15 bucks.

[ShawnCFarm]

i have a pitchfork I did the same thing with. Your going to want to add something to the end of it. Even if you grind it down smooth its hard on the hands

[TheSoloAsylum]

is that the same shovel you broke digging the road?

[Nekiu]

I remember that shovel from a video long ago XD

[madassbadgers]

supershovel sounded more like porno shovel at the end!

[littlestworkshop]

Shovels are generally just badly designed, they have a sharp transition from metal to wood and normally a hole through the wood for the rivet right next door to that. If you are digging weight seems a big advantage.

[MrBigasslens]

you should fill it with sand and weld a cap on it to make it even heavier. then you can have a super workout super shovel.

[Nysswald]

Untz! :D

[jcf005]

@Nysswald Tiss!

[MyFishHasFeet]

We weld metal shovels too ... cuz at the farm the wood ones bust all the time.

The whole " too heavy" arguement is just ridiculous..lol! If your already shovelling enough to break a handle off ... im sure you're strong enough to shovel with a slightly heavier shovel..LOL!

Nice job, that sucker be be around long enough to be another Jaimie artifact .

[mem7048]

Had the same thing happen to me. I bought the fiberglass handled shovel because it is supposed to be unbreakable, and snapped it one month later digging sod. I hate cheap, inferior workmanship. Cool video though!

[PhillieBRidin]

AND BLA BLA. haha

[paperjack93]

you should make a small melting pot and sand-cast your own pieces. It's not hard, you just need a compressor to shoot air costantly on a bunch of charcoal in a bucket and it'll heat up like crazy. You then make a clay pot and put pieces of metal inside and there you go, your own melting pot.

[Haengma]

I don't know what your friend is freakin' talking about, a solid steel shovel rocks. I hate when they make your handle for something out of like, some kind of crappy explosive plastic type stuff that hurls shards everywhere and then claim its better than the old solid metal ones for ineffable reasons.

[peetabix]

Jamie's rule #12: If you cant find what your looking for its because your sitting on it.

[SlacktiveAction]

Nice shoveler. It's actually yer new cereal spoon isn't it?

[ross350tube]

don't go digging through any underground cables or anything like that..

it's good if you're out in the woods but people in the burbs shouldn't really try this because there is a very real chance of going through something electrical and where wood would save you this will fry you..

tape it up at least .

[MyAussieDay]

SST...FTW..!

[LuciusTheExternal]

I do wish I could weld good enough to do that to mine, too (broke a while ago, we've got really tough loam in our backyard)

really nice job, and I do agree on the solid steel tools. I mean, they make axes out of one solid piece, why not shovels?

[Loki95531]

oooonce ooonce ooonce. lol.

I would do the same thing i think. It doesn't matter if it weighs a bit more. thats just gonna make ya big n strong if you use it enough.

[hobbexp]

i agree ,, i real man shovel

fredde

[savageZA76]

Now you got a Man Shovel, Ugh yeah

[robiniroven]

i did the exact same thing to an axe once..lol
