good one, would be a good present.
I had success this week .
these are the BEST bruscutter attachments
https://weedwakka.com.au/
I used to, 2008 era, swap them out for replacement rennovated ones for half price at the rural fair when I went to it.
they are $70 each now new, worth it, but too dear.
soo, having three of them, I used one to make two others .
had to get the rivetted part off, make a blade from the body of another , and get the washers and inner spacer right.
lots of mucking around, but will be much easier (and relaxing) next time
worked a treat. pays to have leather gaiters (from when army disposal stores existed and had good gear, my 80's nuclear preps, lol).
alternative (with no shops and only ebay) was $10 chinese blades that lasted about no time.
one similarly 'lazy' day (this project was 2 days , being 5 hours total) I will get around to these solar panels, I have yet to connect one of them.
primitive technology would be the several sythes lying around here unused, it hurts to think about using one.
