Your yard and patio will
stay clean as a whistle this fall when you make yourself a
leaf blower that whips up an 80-mph wind. You buy the parts
that are hard to build.
Are you tired of being a slave to a rake every autumn? Then
leave the rake in the garage and mechanize the job with a
leaf blower you can make yourself. Next to having a giant
vacuum sweeper, the tornado-on-wheels shown here makes the
job of raking your lawn the quickest yet. Pushed like a
mower, it sends leaves scurrying into a central pile as you
circle the lawn in a spiral pattern. It is three times as
fast as picking them up with a lawn sweeper, and if your
lawn is a sizable one you can save as much as a day by using
the blower instead of a rake. Of course, you still
have the job of lugging the leaves away to be burned, but
the time it takes to rake the pile onto a tarp is a matter
of minutes. And leaf-raking isn't the only job the
blower will do. The 80-mph airstream kicked up by the engine
will scoot sticks and twigs right along with the leaves, and
the blower is great, too, for gathering grass clippings
after mowing—in case you want to use them for compost. Also,
a broom is no match for it in sweeping a drive or patio.
