Been ill, and while out of it at 4am had an idea - original idea for the tank meant £s on materials I could do with not spending at the mo. Saved that idea for the next tank.
Cut two 'blades', tack them together.
Having worked out holes distance and sizes, mark and make the blades like Swiss Cheese. Separate blades.
Make metal tee from sq tube, clamp in vice. Spend ages lining up the blades either side of the tee horizontal tube - spirit level, eye, inventive swearing.
Cut lengths of tube in various diameters. Insert and tack round the insides of the blades.
Tack a strip of steel to the top. Cut down to match the blade's taper, and finish weld. Can't see it in the pic, but the thing tapers to a narrow point at the rrse end, and curves in at the front.
Chop down the protruding tube stubs, finish weld.
Stick to tank, job done, a lightweight holey spiney Thing. Here 'tis with a coat of plod about to get DA'd.
