Check out my cheap brush forks! :D I got the idea from LostInTheWoods. They work pretty good.

Now you've gone off the edge...

Excellent. Now attach a cross-brace 2x4 to the inside ends of those 2x4's, inside the bucket, to connect the "teeth" together & help them resist moving side-to-side (rotating around your clamp).

Oh, and cut the ends of the "teeth" so they're points! :thumbsup:

I was thinking of bracing it somehow...I must say...For light use, they work pretty good....:thumbsup:

I think Jake98 is just jealous he didn't think of doing that. :laughing: ;)

If you moved them out to the ends of the bucket so they are against the sides then put a cross brace at the rear they would be pretty well locked into position. You could also add a third fork in the middle for smaller branches.

Yeah, probably. ;) I'll have to try putting in a brace. I have a couple more 2x4's...

That's the idea but I'd move the two outside ones out each way till they are against the sides of the bucket like I said in my previous post. By doing that and adding the back brace like you put in your sketch, you will really lock the forks into position.
