PICKAROON--Homemade from an Axe

  • Опубликовано: 24 янв 2014
  • Creating a Pickaroon out of an old Axe. Watching the Videos of Hand crafted tools and Homesteading done by Wranglerstar has inspired me to create one of my own. I have always had a sore back picking up fire wood by hand after cutting and splitting, I believe I will have the advantage over the trees now. I hope you all enjoy the video, feel free to leave comments.

    Nick, you've done yourself proud with this Pickaroon,

      wranglerstar Thank you Sir! Your videos have definitely inspired me to restore all of my family's old tools, as well as create some new ones as i go. I am currently working on several other old AXE and wood working tool projects...more videos to come!

    Thanks for showing us how to repurpose the axe head. This project is within the grasp of most do-it-yourselfer's. My thought on purchasing the head. If I have to buy the head, might as well buy the hole thing.

  • @castanheiro6170

    Great job and nice craftsmanship! Pay no attention to the small percentage of RUclips twits who always have to have some criticism of someone else's project. I'm convinced those jerks have never made anything. Anyone who has ever crafted a project knows that there are many pauses, reflections, re-assessments, re-groupings and then forging ahead again as new ideas come up and the project moves forward. As Wranglerstar said, "You've done yourself proud" and you have something you can pass down to the next generation! Function and beauty in the same tool! Can't ask for more than that. Well done!

    I think that was brilliant. What a fantastic job, and if I may say, much better that the expensive offerings on eBay. You should consider selling them. And for those that think this is a worthless tool, this would be invaluable to someone like me with a bad back. I've watched that video a couple of times now. I love it. Good job!
