Some scribbling on the workbench, two old plough blades (tough to cut but welded easily) and a double spring from a harrow for a neck.
The spring steel is difficult to weld. If it doesn't hold, I'll replace it with something else, but the curve was just too perfect not to try. Added a reinforcement piece to help.
Everything on the front got a visit from the grinder to smooth it over. Not to hide my welds but to protect the potato skins from damage.
Lots of guesswork here. V-angle, diving angle, width, etc.
It's a prototype :)
