[Pil-pc-oceania] hoe hoe hoe

[jedd]

 All this talk of tools has reminded me that hoes are very hard things
 to find.  At least, a quality hoe that's long enough.

 Most places I've seen them (and there's not many hardware stores
 that seem to stock the things anymore) are way too short.  Designed
 by the same people that designed <sic> the seats on buses.

 I know I can (in theory) get a well-built blade and then find a
 suitable handle myself .. alas the theoretical aspect of finding
 a well crafted blade disguises the practical difficulties of same.

 Any hints?

 It'd be great (though I'm not sure how feasible) to find a set
 that has interchangeable blades, as I know there's several designs
 to match different purposes (chipping weeds, hilling, trenching,
 chopping, etc).

 taa,
 Jedd.
