Home brew bucket

Quick coupler brackets rough cut, ground, and fit. Used a die grinder with old cutoff wheels to fit in the small spots.

Very nice.

How many hours in the build?

What did you make the front blade/lip out of?

 

[Krookz]

16-20 hours... estimated. Worked on it mostly in the afternoons after work. The lip is from a piece of machine blade I had sitting around from somewhere, picked it up for free a long time ago.

Used a mix of chain binders, clamps, 1/4" angle and my ex to form the back. Didnt come out perfect but its curved. Back part is a bit curved inwards compared to the rest...

I made my ditching bucket out of 1/3 section of 6" pipe. Between the back curve and the torque tube i added another 4 inch of sheet to get some volume, despite this small radius. It works for me

Nice Work!
