I decided to have a bit of a mess about making some interesting projects. One was a berry harvester or scoop, something I'd wanted to try for a long time.
It was a really fun project to make, and I used an old door for the timber. What was more impressive was how well it works! I'm never getting spiked by gooseberries again!
Watch the video below to see how I made it and to see the scoop in action.
When I shared this on social media I was surprised by the reaction, a few people even asked e if I'd consider making them to sell, so it might be a future project - watch this space!
One of those would have been handy at the smallholding when I was picking over 100lb of gooseberries every year!
ReplyDeleteHow many bushes was that? I keep thinking maybe I should put enough in to sell some! I do love the fruit so much.
DeleteThey would sell well, a useful tool to have.
ReplyDeleteI think so. I think I'd need to spend a bit of time developing it maybe.
DeleteBrilliant Kev, I think you'd have a lot of success selling those!
ReplyDeleteThanks Sue, I think they would. Just depends if I could make them fast enough really to make a profit.
DeleteI've never heard or seen one before but since we've planted a few berries over the last couple years, I may have to make one as well.
ReplyDeleteReally simple to make, I will have full plans in woodworking crafts later in the year as well hopefully.
