telescoping shooting lane trimmer
« on: April 18, 2011, 11:39:00 PM »
any body interrested in an aluminium telescoping shooting lane trimmer.
i dont like the prospect of hauling around a lengthy garden trimmer, and last year with my tree stand , and hand held trimmer, i had a few gnarley moments trying to reach out and open shooting lanes.
so, i have located some telescoping aluminium tube , that made into 2' lengths ( 5 pieces) will give just under 10' reach, and still fit nicely into a pack.
it configures as follows-1' into 1.1/8 into 1.1/4 into 1.3/8 into 1.1/2".
i figure to attach a pruning saw blade in a slot in a 1" dowell- and through bolt it and all joints with 1/4" bolts and wingnuts- and a leather sheath for the blade- all in a 2' pack- quick, easy and safe!!
we have to buy the tube in 12' lengths, and each 2' set will cost about $30. we can get it cut into longer lengths if needed- but will have to fit into the 12' units.
this is just to share the costs of the tube- each person would have to build their own trimmer- would be super easy though!!!
anybody interrested, let me know.
