How do I airate my lawn if I don't own any of those airating fag tools? I have a bunch of aluminum tube that I could attach to a shovel handle, but I can't tack weld them, so how can I attach the tubes and have the bond strong enough to hold while I push it into my lawn with my foot.

I'm thinking a piece of wood screwed on to a shovel handle with the tubes around it, the trouble is I can't put screws through the tubes as the thatch and dirt must pass through them as I am stepping.

Would some retarded oldfags like to help me invent such a device?

How many threads do you need for this? I told you, Godzilla nail shoes. Come on, man.

nail shoes are for fags I want the tubes because I want the big holes and thatch pellets.

I am thinking, could I drill them into the wood through a hole in the side of the cyclinder or would that ruin the structural integrity of the cyclinder? they are shitty aluminum ones, left over from an old project, they are simular to curtain rods I suppose. I was going to sharpen one end of them and make a godzilla spike shoe on a stick basically.

Also this is my first thread of this year I believe. I will take pictures to entertain you if you help me brain storm.

Apparently I'm I retard and you can do it with a pitch fork, but I want the cool dog poo-esque thatch pellets, I got a hacksaw, a vice, and some old shovel handles. I'll try and get the prep work done tonight and finish tomorrow.

I have a new plan, I am going to bore holes the size of the tubes through the wood, but slightlight smaller, then I will boil the piece of wood on my stove for a few hours, then hammer the tubes through with a mallet, and then attach it to the shovel handle. Thus attaching the tubes to the handle without welding.

We have our plan, I will start first thing in the morning, and will be sure the document the procedure.

if you're looking to aerate that heavily you got some issues. Just till your lawn and add amendments, Reseed and reap the benefits of being a fag. or..... rip your lawn up and put in something that will give back instead of wasting resources and money.

another suggestion sweetheart.
Rent a plugging tool. Don't spend time just to build something you may use twice a year.
Rent one, get it done with quick and not be complete fag being useless building things

How thick is the sidewall? Why not just grab some cheap ass rebar from Home Depot, jig that shit up with some magents, and just make a funny looking fork like in your OP pic. Wait for a good rain, or hose the shit out of the yard, walk around and start stabbing the ground.

Damn Gus, you done must dropped out in that there forth grade. Sheeeittt

This is do it yourself not fag it yourself.

That's basically what I have but it's 1/4'' aluminum, it's cheapo.
>>1379521
Shut up homo, I am going to build it but it's my wifes birthday, I did what you said but with a pitch fork and it works beautifully but I broke my pitchfork.

I am strung out on drugs, coupled with my wife's birthday, I am not in the mood to build this fag shit, but I've wanted to make one for a while so I'll get it done in the next few days here.

I will take some snapshots of the building materials today, ya I know I sound like a retard. Not too worried.

Rent a fucking aerator, you're going to waste more time and money fucking around like an idiot than you will by just doing it right.
