If you want to know how to make a shovel for snow and want to make a tool with your own hands, then you will need only a few hours and a couple of tens of rubles for materials! The workflow workflow is a fairly simple procedure that even a person can do, very far from a carpentry and before that has no practice of working with a tree. As a result, you will make the snowplower shovel as quickly as possible, save a lot of money to purchase it, and nerves in search and delivery.
How to make a shovel and what to consider when making it

For starters, in front of the process of work, you need to decide what the size of the tool should be, and what is the main one for you. As a rule, the following criteria for choosing snowpock shovels are taken into account:
Width of the working surface. A wooden shovel should be primarily with a large capture of the working foundation, since snow is light and voluminous material and ordinary bayonet and even a suture shovel, it is simply impossible to remove it. The optimal dimensions of the blades are considered 50×50 cm, but you can do a little more or less – this is not fundamentally. Remember that a very large blade is also bad (they are engaged in bodybuilding in another place, and we have backwards of snow after all) and it will be very difficult for you to do work.
The length of the cuttings. Too short holder – the employee will hump and after half an hour or an hour he will get his back. With a long holder, it is also inconvenient and hard to work. Perfect length – exactly on the shoulder to a person who performs work. That is, each shovel must be made from the calculation of growth.
A pen. It should be primarily convenient, best if it is rubberized. If the design does not provide for it – then it is worth making the edge of the cuttings comfortable, finishing it with polymer materials.
Laying bucket shovels. The degree of the slope of the blade itself is very important, since when torn off snow from the ground, a conditional lever will be used and, as a result, it will be very simple and easy to perform work.
Material. As you know, the shovel is made from improvised materials and from what is cheaper, but it is mostly better to choose light varieties of wood, such as pine, for example.
You can, of course, not take into account many factors that are described above, but remember that not only your moral state will depend on the convenience of working with the shovel, but also the physical one, as well as the time spent on the execution of the same snow removal procedure.
How to make a wooden shovel – the process of manufacturing snow removal “technology”
On the video – the manufacture of wooden cuttings for shovels
Before we start working on the manufacture of a snow removal shovel, it is necessary to stock up on the right tool for work, namely:
lobby, and also possible sandpaper;
screws 3-4 cm long;
screwdriver “star” or screwdriver;
wooden stalk, better uncouth;
Plywood or OSB plate size 50×50 cm.
First of all, you will need to make a bucket for a future shovel, which will be easiest to make through a jigsaw. We cut a crescent from plywood, having previously drawn, after which we cut out a plane of 50x50cm. You can use plywood waste in production, or ask a piece from a neighbor – there is no need to buy a standard 150 for 200 cm, because our goal is savings!
An uncouth stalk will cost you 40-50 rubles, which can then be passed with sandpaper and painted with any sexual paint. Weat 50×50 blades with screws to the cuttings, which should stand at an angle of 20-30 degrees (you can put a bar), then bend and screw the crescent slightly and screw!
How to make a wooden shovel – advice to beginners and “tricks” of an experienced carpenter
“The economy should be economical,” so you should not spend a lot of money and time on what can be done for a penny and as quickly as possible. In order for the process of manufacturing the shovel not to “hit” the wallet and you need to: you need to:
find an unnecessary piece of plywood on the sawmill, and it doesn’t matter what shape, if only the sizes coincide;
The holder can be borrowed from another tool, for example, from a bayonet shovel (snow discharge is temporary, and you will not dig in the winter);
Instead of impregnations on wood, you can use ordinary sexual paint – it passes 1-2 seasons and good, because it will complete its task;
Feelines on the jigsaw, after processing which can be sanded with sandpaper.
Making a shovel with your own hands from the “improvised” materials is really simple, fast, and also profitable, since there is no need to spend a solid amount of money on the purchase of a “corporate” tool.
