While ago i was looking for some small cf project just to practise more and i came up with this idea, make cf avalanche snow shovel for myself. At the beginning it was easy project, made 2 prototypes testing different fabrics, both came out very strong, just some pinholes. After testing them with snow and icy snow i realised that the tip of the shovel is not strong enough it crushed and they layers started to come apart little bit. Now im looking options what can i do to make the tip stronger, i was thinking some small metal insert to the tip, but havent figured out how to put it there. im happy to hear suggestions or other ideas how could i make it strong enough for icy snow.
 I used wetlayup and vacuum bag, after it was cured in oven i just trimmed the edges.
