For FordMan about his boxblade

If you just drive by and look at any palce that has box blades, you will see that the blade sticks down a little below the sides of the box. If they dont it wont cut anything. Also the blade is at a slight angle forward, will not get a bite if it is just verticle. Finally you need 2 blades for any box blade, one cutting to front and one cutting to back. without 2 it will not be nearly as useful. Best to take some good photos of some of them at TSC or some other implement dealer. I dont understand just how you had the blade bent, but just bending a curve around to form the box side will most likely not work. Better do some homework, before you get too far along. Tom
 
Thanks Tom: I had the back bent out of 96" 3/8 plate and the bent sides are to reinforce the corners to support the sides. I live in northern B.C. Canada and can not just peruse a dealer product. That is why I rely on these forums. I am puting two cutting edges for both ways but is there a standard depth they should be below the sides. Thanks again
