[Cob] cobber's thumbs

[Copper Harding]

Try your local landfill, etc. and look for old snow
shovels.  They have a "D" shaped handle on them.  You
can then cut off the handle to a reasonable length
(anywhere from six inches to...) and have a nice grip
for pushing the cob into the next layer down.
Cheap/free, works nicely, AND saves your hands - or at
the bare minimum gives you a nice change of pace for
working with the cob.

For those of you living in a "non-snow" area - sorry. 
I'm not sure what kind of old implement would have
those types of handles and be readily available.

Best of luck cobbing,

Copper
