Description
My dad made my first one of these to keep in the back of the Landrover. Such a simple but invaluable device I now have 3 or 4 scattered about the place and I always keep a spare in the motor to give away in emergencies. Once you’ve found yourself with boots covered in thick mud, (or worse), and have had one of these to hand you’ll never want to be without one again.
You can buy these easily enough but they’re so simple and cheap to make it seems a shame to pay good money for one. We put the attached instructions together a few years ago and have shared them on a couple of forums since then, but have just realised that we really should include it here.
I make most of mine from floorboard off cuts that I can’t resist when I see them poking out of skips. A great beginners project and maybe one for kids, but make sure they’re supervised when using the tools.
