DIY sand flea rake

I was searching for sand flea rakes and found the cheap one were built cheaply, and didn't want to pay $100 + for what seemed to be a quality one. so I made one myself for about $50. that I know is solid. It weighs about 4 pounds so once I use it for about an hour I will add a update.

Rivets are fine but I would use a MAP gas torch and aluminum rods from Harbor Freight and braze those pieces together. Stronger joints and a cleaner look.

[@anglerissues2309]

I agree. That’s what I did , I used the rivets basically to hold everything in place until I brazed it with the aluminum rods. Thanks for watching.

Nice job. How did you attach the screen to the angle?

[@anglerissues2309]

I used the thinnest aluminum flat stock I could find by 1/2 inch and cut to length, placed on top of the expanded metal (screen) drilled through the angle and flat stock then used aluminum rivets. The flat stock acted as a washer basically. Thanks for the question and view.

[@cookingwithpapa1921]

@@anglerissues2309 Thank you. Would a bead of aluminum hold it as well, just ran down the angle?

[@anglerissues2309]

@@cookingwithpapa1921 It's worth a try,

[@renealbaladejo3698]

What kind of steel mess did you use Aluminum of galvanized steel?

[@anglerissues2309]

I could not find aluminum so I used galvanized, but attached it so it could be replaced. Thanks for watching.

[@savagestyle124]

i need that torch head

[@anglerissues2309]

Thanks for watching, that torch head is from harbor freight sku# 91061. I use it with map gas and it puts out a lot of heat 🔥.

[@savagestyle124]

@@anglerissues2309 thank you, I’ll give it a try.

[@galaxy3tablet205]

What type of rods are you using to weld it together?

[@anglerissues2309]

Galaxy 3 Tablet They are alumiweld rods that can be purchased at harbor freight. Real easy to use. The key is cleaning the work surface to manufacture specs. Good luck and thanks for watching.
