Harvesting Comb help needed

[Muddypaws]

I would like to make a harvesting comb for picking blaeberries later in the year. Can anyone give me any advice on tooth shape and spacing, or perhaps point me in the direction of some public domain plans?

never tried it, but how about a afro comb?

I'm not sure what a harvesting comb is but this might be of interest:

Good link Puub:You_Rock_

RM's site do a plastic berry picker for over a tenner so Puub's link is worth that and then some. Make one and get the satisfaction of using it, I know I am going to this summer.

Thanks for the link Puub, I'll definitely have a go at making one like that, especially as I'll be able to get all the bits for free! Shame it will be a while before I can try it out though. Expect some pics around the end of August.

Here's a diy version that uses similar type teeth as the one on RM'S site, I think I prefer jonr's version though .
