You can make a rake for cleaning foliage and garbage in a summer cottage area by yourself, for this you need 22 bicycle needles and a couple of small pipe sections. The choice fell on the knitting needles because for this craft you need a rigid steel wire.

The heads are separated from the spokes to get even rods, from one end they are clamped into a flattened piece of pipe with a diameter of 25 mm. The clamps of the needles must be in the same plane, after which they must be moved apart at equal distances from each other.

The next step is to create a holding jumper of tin. It is a narrow strip in which holes are drilled at the same distance by the number of spokes. The strip is bent in half along the holes and it is given a radius, after which the spokes are threaded inward, and the whole structure is compressed.

The final stage is the creation of fasteners for the handle from a piece of pipe cut to a cone, you also need to drill a hole for the screw and fasten everything by welding.
