    You make another pickaroon.

    I had made one before but after looking at some pictures on here I decided to try a different design. This one it heavier on the pick end and it also sticks in the wood much better. I use a post hole handle because I got it cheap. The metal is just scrap from a previous project.

    Diy is always gooder! You do nice work. You can make the tool to fit your specific situation and personal needs. My dad was a tool and die maker for 40+ years. Growing up we were always making our own tools when the need arose. Life skills that have served me well. When you going to start manufacturing Mag craft pickaroons?:D

    So an update. Another day inside so I decided to wrap the handle with parachord. I drilled the wood for the ends to go into and I also put down a thin layer of epoxy before wrapping to hold the parachord in place better. Red just makes it easier to see.
