How to improvise Hand-Shovel from a Tin Can / Soda Can

[@P_RO_]

As much as a useful tool shown here, the technique of a larger diameter and the wedge to lock it can be useful in other ways. Felix thinks outside of the box (and outside of the can too) 😁 Always something to learn here 👍

[@FelixImmler]

Thanks for this wonderful compliment!!

[@CsZsolt]

Yes, the technique is more useful than the tool.

Guten Morgen Felix schöne sonnige Grüße aus Mecklenburg Vorpommern. wieder Mal ein einfaches aber nützliches Projekt,man sieht und erkennt die Vielfalt des Schweizer Taschenmesser meine Kinder werden dein Projekt heute selbst einmal um setzen den dein Buch haben sie schon abgearbeitet 😂😂😂😂😂. Meine Kinder haben einen liebevollen Namen für dich sie gaben die den Namen Meister des Schweizer Taschenmesser ❤❤❤❤ . mach weiter so die Welt braucht in diesen Zeiten Menschen wie dich ,du bringst viele dazu wieder raus zugehen in die Wälder und nicht nur am Computer oder Telefon zu hängen.

Everyday I'm shoveling, shoveling, shoveling ... 🤣 Great project, Felix, thanks for giving inspiration ... I think I have to try this in order to create a little reverse shovel as used in India (means on Indian shovels the handle comes out backward over the shovel in an 45° angle). Have a good time, best regards, Robert

Would love to see if it is possible to cut a wood log that has a diameter larger than, 2 times the length of the saw/largest blade on a swiss army knife. Could it be possible to make the saw "groove" larger than the thickness of the knife? While obviously wasteful and useless, it would be interesting to try. Only with a swiss army knife. Love the vids, keep it up! 👍

[@davidjensen4796]

Very good I personally did that over a lifetime ago 50 years or more but I like it we did the same with plastic milk bottles a lifetime ago it was alright on the short term other long-term it was rubbish so we made shovels out of decent branches and they stun up to the task we used to make Knives Out of hands to make Casuals and boy was a sharp we also made spoons and forks a string was wood and it worked anyway thumbs up keep it going enjoy watching your channel

[@FelixImmler]

Thankyou so much for this great story!

[@davidjensen4796]

Hey I'm sorry I said I made Knives Out of hands and I meant to say old rice pudding cans and bean cans it was whatever we could get our hands on will use to sharpen them up with a little bit of spit I'm an old rock we used to use all pedal bike inner tubes to wrap around the handle to make a handles there was no cars on the road back then everything was brilliant just a lot of bomb sites a very lot of years ago everything was homemade plum bread cakes jam tarts lemon curd tarts we didn't even have a bathroom we bath in a tin Bath and that's the truth and it sounds hard to believe but it's a truth but we had a lot of fun growing up I haven't still grown up after all the years anyway keep it going thumbs up love watching your channel

[@CsZsolt]

Well, I'd rather carry a small plastic shovel in my bag than waste my time on the camping site on manufacturing a tin shovel that will be weaker than my plastic shovel. I'm grateful for the technique, though. It is good to know how to make a shovel if I forget to take a real one with me, or I lose or destroy the one that I have.

[@TK8866275]

I wonder if you could make your shovel sturdier with double layers. Instead of cutting off a piece of metal, you could make a "T" shaped cut to form a two "flaps". Then fold those flaps inwards and with a round piece of wood suitable thickness, pound and roll them flat to contour the outer layer.

[@FelixImmler]

Very interesting concept! Let me know if it works!!

[@mannihh5274]

Nice project, well done. IMHO the little bit of rim left at the front doesn't help much with stability, but without it you can shovel even small things up from the ground. I think, most of the stability comes from the 'wavy' side profile. On the handle end that's a whole other story, without the complete rim the bottom will easily bend. For tasks more heavy-duty it would add stability, if you oriented the wedge upright.

[@FelixImmler]

You are absolutly right!

Ein weiteres wunderbares Projekt, Felix! Kaum fragte ich mich, wie diese Kurve zu schneiden wäre, kommt auch schon die nächste geniale Idee: Mach's mit einer "gefüllten" Dose... Eigentlich so simpel, man muss aber erstmal drauf kommen! 😮 Falls mal kein Ast im richtigen Durchmesser rumliegt: Meinst Du, das ginge auch mit feuchtem Sand den man in der Dose festklopft?

[@FelixImmler]

nein, ich glaube der Sand gibt zu viel nach. Aber wenn der Ast in hält (an Ort und Stelle bleibt, z.B. ein Seitenast eines Baumes)... kann er auch kleiner sein als der Dosendurchmesser. LG

Gute Idee. Hast du schon mal bei den Ultraleicht-Backpacker n/ Trekkingprofis beobachtet? Die haben solche Schaufeln aus Titan für Ihre Hinterlassenschaften . Eigentlich bringst du eh viel zuwenig für Fernwanderer, Trekking, Pilger etc. Gerade für diese Klientel wäre es sinnvoll deine Ideen und deine Erfahrung mit dem kleinen Taschenmesser einzubringen. Zum Beispiel einen Gehstock aus Esche oder Haselnuss schnitzen und über dem Feuer biegen. Zeltheringe schnitzen usw. Ich hätte hier 1000 Ideen für Victorinox. Ich liebe diese leichten handlichen Schweizer.Messer. Eine Pilgerreise mit Victorinox über den Camino del Norte nach Santiago wäre ein Beispiel wie man Victorninox für so eine tolle Fernwanderung nutzen könnte. Gerne wäre ich für Victorinox daabei. Frage: Wieso gibt es von Victorinox keinen Ultraleicht Trekkingrucksack? Oder Funktionsbekleidung? Das würde perfekt in das Konzept der Entschleunigung passen -das ist und wird der große Trend. mit dem Weitwandern und mit leichter Funktionskleidung und Leichtausrüstung. Leicht und klein und bequem - so wie das Schweizer Taschenmesser.

[@FelixImmler]

Hallo Gerhard. Ich hätte gerne 1000 Ideen 😅😅 Aber ich möchte Dich ermuntern, deine Ideen in Videos umzusetzen. Ich war mal kurz auf deinem Kanal. Ich bekomme nicht mehr Klicks als Du, wenn Du Videos mit dem Taschenmesser macht. Was ich gesehen habe, waren die alle sehr erfolgreich.
