Homemade edging tool

Yesterday, I welded up an edging tool for making the grass along our sidewalk conform to my strict straightness requirements. I had been using it for 15 or 20 minutes before I realized that using an edging tool on your grass borders on the neurotic, and making your own edging tool is even weirder. But, I had already made it, and it came out pretty well, so here are some pictures.

The handle and the blue steel yoke come from the failed edger that I had, which clogged with grass and dirt almost instantaneously.
