Has anybody built a box blade?

What are the typical side wall dimensions, and what's the best angle for the bottom edge relative to the back?

I've been wanting to build one for a while, but without a design template, I've been reluctant to start sourcing materials.

I'd go to your local road maintenance shop for cutting edges, whether that's city or county, not knowing where you live. For scarifier teeth I'd go to your local tractor supply store or it's equivalent. I drew a set of plans for a BB but just never energized the plan. I thought it would be a fun project, regardless of cost. And you are correct, you can build a Bad A** BB for what it would cost to buy a cheap one. Don't forget to post pics if you do it!!!!

Was that a CAD drawing you did? If it was any chance you could let me take a look at the file??

No way I'm that Hi-Tech..... It was a Power Point drawing. For some reason I can't attach it here???

Take a screen shot and post that pic.

Just figured out the problem. My shop computer doesn't have Office/Powerpoint. I'll take the flash drive into the house this evening and get a picture using the house computer and then post tomorrow.

The side wall is 3/8 on my Cammond.

Here is the only drawing that I found with a Google image search. It is a low back style.

I'm more interested in the front to back and top to bottom lengths, and what the included angle of the bottom right corner in the right picture is.

The land pride dimensions are helpful though!
