im going to redesign it using the angled method, but with metal flashing instead. It will be lighter but stronger.

Be sure to have an angle between your parallel pusher supports, the blade will try to push on the shorter support outward. Having an angle will help the supports parallel.

No, it won't...

It appears that you only have a circular saw. Your cuts are all straight. You need to learn to make miter cuts.

I am going to attach two 2x4's to the tow hooks with one longer then the other, cut each at a 35-45 degree angle and bolt the plow onto the ends.

Stupid execution but at least he TRIED. Yeah, the first was a stupid design (with the second one almost as bad) but at least it WORKED. I'd take that any day over shoveling a whole driveway.

Damn, you are seriously a retard. What goes through your head when you do stuff like this? And you want to be an engineer? I'll NEVER drive across a bridge that you design or go into a building either. God save the world.

Quit making fun of the kid. At least he is trying and he is going to redesign the plow.

I give him credit for having the guts to post his attempts. Eventually he will end up with a decent design that might actually work.

Nala, think triangles, its all in triangles. Look at roll cages and try to understand how they work and apply the same principles to the plow frames.
