My father'n'law had to buy a new pool cover tube for his pool. Wow is it expensive!

Anyways its 4" aluminum tube. And he had about 2 feet of it left when he cut it to length for his pool. And its ALL MINE!!!

I think once its been cut apart and shaped I'll see the perfect plow! Soon as I get a chance I'll see if I can cut it apart with the bandsaw. So if your interested in some try checking out your local pool supply. They may just have a chunk you can have / buy.

So I started with this:

It didn't fit in my bandsaw so a minute with an angle grinder got me this:

Then 2 quick cuts with the bandsaw later:

I still need to sit down and decide what I want my final shape to be and how I want to attach it. I do know it has to be a 2 channnel plow blade. So that will direct the design.

Plowage! That's a nice piece of aluminum bud! Let me know if'n youse need some brackets or anything (Bein's ya got some credit comin'.) Just a random thought: If you give the blade a coat of auto wax, the snow should slide off lots easier & make it harder to get stuck. :clapping: Can't hurt! Chris
