Stayed out of the garage for a while because of the heat. While resting in the cool of the airconditioning I decided I need to make a rake to smooth out the area where they tore up my lawn while installing the new septic system. I thought it might also work as a driveway groomer.
I had some scrap angle iron laying around so cut some 3/8 bar stock and rebar 2 inches long (45 Pieces) and welded them to two 45" long 2" x 1/4 inch pieces of angle iron. Had to buy some 1/4" x 1-1/2" angle iron for the side pieces and the runners that hold the 8 x 16 concrete weight blocks.
Tried it out yesterday and this morning after adding three weight blocks. Works great, and no welds broke.
As you can see, my best helper is also a great tester.

It was a barter deal. I pulled the rake; He bought me an IPAD. I think I came out on top.
