Step 2Layout on the ply
iImage Information

Lay out the placement of the shovel's handle, and the second handle on one of the pieces of ply. Four of the bolts go AROUND the shovel handle (making it transferrable to a new shovel when the blade cracks or whatever) and two of the bolts go THROUGH the second handle. I have eight on mine, but six is ok. The angle can be whatever is comfortable for you. For me it was about 60 degrees, and the top of the second handle should be about the same height from the ground as the shovel handle when its in use, at a good angle to the ground.
