From one old man to another. LOL Thank you for the video, I enjoyed the demonstration. I will finally be putting a handle on my hookaroon head. Saved it from a thrift shop in a logging town some years ago. Using it will save alot of time and pain.
Sounds awesome! I wish I could find an old one in a second hand shop! maybe I should take a trip to the States... I think I would need more than a suitcase to get all my souvenirs back though! Thanks for watching! Cheers!
Nice demo. Thanks. I just ordered my 1st hookaroon (my lower back is killing me in my elder years) even though I always knew about this logging tool all my life ; I always thought this tool was for wimps. I'm afraid I may have waited too long to get one. - N Idaho -
Dislodging the firewood round is easier with a pickaroon rather than a hookaroon due to the straight point. Now for some odd reason I want a macaroon...... LOL
Great video! I love historic tools. Keep the videos coming! (Side note: I have a couple of hookaroons. They work great in lighter, softer woods, but not so well with hard and heavy oaks, etcetera; at least in my experience. Nevertheless, as I said, they work great for me in pine and softer hardwoods).
Wish I'd known about these when I was working on farm years ago,spent a lot of time felling/logging in winter and would have saved my back a lot😟still do a bit of firewood and also now blacksmithing/metalworking so will be making some of these,maybe one with axe blade on one side😉😉

Thanks for the video I've got a pickaroon but rarely use it and didn't even know it was called a pickaroon. It doesn't go into the wood as easily as yours though so maybe I need to give it a tickle with a file to sharpen it
Hi thanks for watching appreciate your feedback! . If you like looking tools iv just made a new video on the history of the can't hook... ruclips.net/video/TuFDkDzCeOU/видео.html Cheers!
Hi thanks for watching! A few more views now! Must be your good feed back! Iv just posted a new vid about the history of the can't hook if your interested in logging tools?. All the best! Cheers!
Someone on RUclips actually knows the difference in a pickaroon/hookaroon/axearoon. I would like a axearoon, but haven't been able to find one. Heck, I have been trying to find someone that could forge one.
I have found multi purpose tools always sacrifice function for convenience. For instance you can't move around as freely if you have two sharp bits. You also want as little weight as possible for a tool of mobility
@@chanmang yeah they were really designed as s compromise if you're carrying things out to the field. Two heads, one handle = less weight and less cumbersome but also means if you just break one handle then both tool heads are down.
I've never seen and grew up in an area with lots of logging that only started to taper off 50 years ago ish, so lots of Old tools around. Must have not made it to south west Australia. Seems strange. Guess I'll just have to make one

There's a lot of people blacksmithing these days.
Just ordered mine today thank you
How is it performing and what have you been using it for? Cheers!
Just ordered one...mainly to keep my hands away from the wood pile....and snakes
great video
I found myself using a bill (something like a suffolk) in similar manner
Well done!
Great Vid 👍😃

@@rdhudon7469 Cooo Loo Coo Coo Coo Coo Coo !!
Look up the term goad, it looks like hookeroons go all the way back to 1samuel. It used to be longer for guiding cattle.
What is the handle length on your long handled hookaroon??? Looks like the perfect length.
Thx
It’s pretty common to see 32 inch handles for full size axes and picks
In your opinion, what is better and more practical - this tool or aluminum, such as OCHSENKOPF or the like? Is aluminum fundamentally better? Thanks!
anything with a r o und handle is shit
Makes a good zombie killer 😮
Master of the obvious
I really wish you good health until your "late 80s", and more !
Really appreciate your comment! Thanks for watching. Cheers!
There's a Swedish or Norweigan blacksmith who made one of those last year.
Fantastic! I will have to look it up.. do you have a link?
Thanks for watching.
Cheers
