Lute...

...or Lawn Leveller. Not a musical instrument!

I've been making this over the past few days...



Although they are available to buy online, and designs are similar, I thought that it would be fun to make one.

Anyone for a blow by blow how to?

 

I was hoping for one of these

 

Its remotely similar. Very remotely!

 

They both have parallel straight lines as part of their composition
Both have right-angles.
I bet if I whacked the lumpy bits in my lawn with my kind of "lute" it would level it too

 

I'd like one of these.

 

So you can just manually drag that over your top dressed lawn to smooth out any hollows ?

 

Correct @HarryS

 

The lute looks good Sandy, your skills never cease to amaze me. Now all we need is a report on how well it does in the garden.

@"M" can you play either one?

 

Good question!

Yes, indeed I could: a hill billy version of triangle on one and strings on the other


















Think I got away with it!

 

We'll see you on YouTube yet!

 

A few years ago a mate of mine got hold of a road roller - bit like this one - to borrow for smoothing out the campsite.
I nearly killed myself with it. It had a button to push - made it 'go' like one of those pneumatic drill things - nearly made me go too.
I thought ''right kid....bull by horns...'' and off I went. Got round the four acres about 8 times altogether, the bit that goes over the seat hit a branch on a tree, came back and hit me hard enough (almost) to send me into orbit like superwoman.
When I`d finished, I walked in a similar fashion to Max Wall for days. Never again

 

You mean ... you haven't already!?

 

Well let me into the secret then @"M" and I'll go take a looksy.

 

That's a name from the past. "Where's the stooool?"
