Ya know... I have several worn motor grader cutting edges that I've been wondering what to do with them. Then I watched this. While I thought about making a mechanical thumb, I just never got around to it. Now, I'm inspired (and actually need one at the moment) Your handiwork looks terrific and it just goes to show.. you _never_ throw away "scrap" steel! Great job Osborne Bay!

Thank you for your video. I am going to make my backhoe a thumb and searched a video to give some ideas how to. This video was just what I ordered :)
Great idea! I need one like this and will build one. Thanks
Excellent idea. That is very smart
Nice work.
Very nice!
