A little homemade firewood Pickaroon action....

I have been reading about how useful this tool is in firewood processing, but was not wanting to pay the asking price for one. Built this one this evening, have $9 and less than an hours time. Turned out pretty good I think, and works good also.

 

Lol.... YEP

 

Looks great nice job the sharper the point right at the very end the better it will work

 

I ground It down to a pretty good point seems to do well.

 

Not much on video's. Lol....

 

Can't beat them for unloading a truck or trailer, pulling stuff off a pile, stick it in a small log and drag it around, many other things and you don't have to bend over

 

Yep, they say they are a "back saver".

 

It's better to build your own than buy imo

 

I like it nice job.

 

Aha! Now I know what I can do with that bucket of railroad spikes I have! Nice work wv

 

here is a picture of one a guy on AS made from railroad spikes, mean medieval looking deal.
He put the spike on the so that he could stick it in the ground and it would stand up

 

I need to learn how to weld!

 

No welding required, I made this one from pipe I keep it in my jeep

 

What kind of bolt it that? Is it a specific grade? Me likey!

 

Just a personal preference but I think I would like a wood handle better.

 

yep had to get a grade 8 bolt, (head of bolt cut off lock nut on top) first one I tried got bent
a section of water pipe ( I think it was a foot long) is inside the conduit for weight on the business end
