    ...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?:)

          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 :thumbsup:

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

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

                @"M" can you play either one? :biggrin:

                      A few years ago a mate of mine got hold of a road roller - bit like this one - to borrow for smoothing [​IMG]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 :uh-oh:
