Anyone know where a wide handled scorp might be? The handles on my 6" sco rp are about 10" wide. I need a handle span of at least 13".... 15"-18" i s even better. Also, I need the blade to be angled at least 15° offs et from the handles' plane.
Has anyone ever made a custom scorp? If so, any recommendations or advice? I had thought to maybe use a (auto) leaf spring, but not sure if the met al is appropriate.... if the ends could be heated, to form the handle mount s, and the heating not take away from the metal quality. I have an old fro e that might work well, but not sure I want to get rid of the froe.
Been checking Ebay for a 1.5" or 2" wide curved gouge.... and the blade len gth be curved, also. Anyone ever see something as this hanging around?
TIA
On other notes:
-My AT&T internet had been down for 3 weeks.... ATT was replaced with Cox, today. For lack of internet play....
-Got the 2 other "garage" doors built, lately. On this set of doors, I han d planed the raised panels aspect, as opposed to the typical machine cuttin g. Thought it would take lots of work and time, but it was fairly easy an d only took about 2-3 hours to do both sides of all 4 panels. One door pic.
-Been working on the cypress chairs, also.... need the scorp and gouge for some of the further work.
-With the recent storms in neighboring states, seemed a good time to do som e house inspections and maintenance, so I've done a little of that, lately, also. Have some touch priming & painting to do, still.
-Removed a large yucca tree and removed a goldfish/koi pond.... making spac e for the telescope positioning, etc.
-Winter garden tilling is next on the agenda.
