Pickeroon anybody,..??

[Bondo]

I use a pickeroon to pull chunk wood outa the wood pile to toss into the wheelbarrow to feed the boiler,...

It was my Dad's,... donno how old it is,... never seen another like it,....

Anybody else appreciate the handiness of the pickeroon,..??

I need to pick one of these up. I thought about making one for myself. Saw a detailed video of it on youtube.

as precious as time is, it may be better to just buy.

Nope. We used to use them when I worked at the local lumber mill.

I like the way this point is made sticks and releases easy

I have replaced broken axe handle with a piece of pipe that's welded on

Ayuh,..... I love the palm swell in it, it's great for pullin' blocks outa the pile,....
But like I said, I ain't seen another like it,...

This is one I made,....
Don't care for the handle, to tinny feelin' when usin' it,....
Probably gonna go to heavier pipe, or a wooden handle,.....

well that's slick as .....

Real nice gang, my lower back has me yearning for one, especially when going solo.

I have a couple that I have made from scrap metal. One is on an ax handle and the other I used a handle from a post hole digger.



This is the one on the ax handle.

 

[Bondo]

Ayuh,.... I like 'em,.... Great job,....

I did a little cleanin' 'n tunin' on Dad's ole pickeroon,....

Cut the top outa a plastic jug, set the handle in it, 'n filled it with boiled linseed oil,....
Soaked it 3, 4 weeks,... pulled it out, wiped the whole thing down with the drippin's, 'n this is what I got,...

I'm happy with it,....

 

[wildroamer]

That's a beauty, no doubt.

Drippins?

 

[Bondo]

Drippins?

Ayuh,... It sat in a bottle of boiled linseed oil, filled to 'bout a 1/2inch short of the head,......
You can sorta see the oil line in the 2nd pic, just below the iron head, on the handle,...

When I pulled it out, it was drippin' the boiled linseed oil, so I wiped it down with a rag, 'n slathered the entire thing with the linseed oil wet rag,....

 

[old guy]

I cut down an old single bit ax with a cut off wheel in a 4" angle grinder to make mine.
I remember the one we had in the woods back in the 60s, Sater Banko was the brand, made in Sweden.

I got rid of the chopping side not needed decided it was coming off.I also took a piece of rope and wrapped good tape around it for a handle.
