Grass Cutter Mk II
(<- Part 1 )
I present to you, the Grass Cutter Mk II
So a list of upgrades/changes
A new handle, taped up to keep it safter and secure. inside this is a lightswitch embedded in the wood for off/on and the control board.
A new adjustable angle handle, I can loosen the bolt and change the angle so if its not really comfortable where it is, I can change it.
The engine is now parrallel to the ground, much more ‘mower-like’ less ‘weed strimmer-like’. Also I removed the rubber as it wasnt providing any vibration releif and was just making it smelly. The strimmer line (orange twine) is also attached in a more reliable way: I threaded it through a drilled hole in the shaft head, then tied a double knot on each side so it cant pass through either direction.
And a new height setting/adjustment pole. there will be a wheel on here soon, I tried a couch floor knob but it doesnt slide very well. The point of this is to make it easier to push around rather than having to manually hold it at a certain height. although doesnt mean you cant flip it upside down and go manual if you want to do edges etc.
