Pickaroons are an absolutely essential tool if you get to my age and you want to preserve whats left of your back. Do not leave home without one.....Nice video .
Another outstanding video John don't be a stranger 👋✌️
A new tool that also means less wear and tear on your back? Win win!
Hook shape makes that a hookaroon. Pickaroons have pick head. Good work either way.
I didn't know what a pickaroon was, but now I think I need one... 😉. Great job, John!
Looks like a very handy tool! You seem to do very well for having two herniated discs you're doing very well! Nothing to it really. Anyway thanks again John!
Wow! That's a really effective tool. 🤜🤛
I think there might be somethin to it 🤔. Nicely done bro
These are super handy. Grew up using a pickaroon to process firewood at my parents house. It was my grandfather’s. Pro-tip: don’t miss a log and hit yourself in the shin with it. It will hurt.
Great video 😃😃
Might need to find one of these myself, I have two bad discs in my back also!
I think having a wood box, or a bucket handy to set your axe and pickeroon in to keep them from falling over on the ground would be a good idea, the whole ‘saving the back’ thing kinda falls apart if you have to reach to the ground to get your axe and pick for every log!
A pickeroon. Now I know if it should ever come up as a question in some quiz, conversation or as a word in a book. Also, I understand how its formed and used, mostly. I so enjoy the entertainment but more so the education of your channel and others. Found out about a fractal vice, only in the last year. Education is a fine thing. Cheers John
I don't want to sound rude/arrogant, I want to give some advise; Seeing one of his videos I noticed (seemed to me) he had more trouble than a woodworker would when sanding and finishing handles. Learning to use and sharpen a card scrapper is a huge improvement over sandpaper for getting roughness out of a handle, after it has been basically shaped. Sandp. would come after scrapping. In UA-cam people like Paul Sellers teach the use of the tool. If anyone can make an effort to suggest him this it would be cool. Or if he reads this.
pickaroon for firewood? win win thank you for bringing us along
I enjoy watching you work. It reminds me of my watching my dad who was a fifth generation master blacksmith. Unfortunately all of my generation did other things. And even though I’ve earned a good living in computer engineering. I can’t tell you how many times I have regretted not following in my father’s footsteps.
For a guy with back problems, you sure seem to hurk around some big ass rounds of firewood to chop up just fine. Great Video.
Staying active helps a lot. I stretch a good bit too to help manage the pain. When it's really bad I can barely walk. But if I stay on top of stretching and staying moving I can live with it
Didn't know I needed a new tool. Now I know better.
You always make everything look so easy! I feel ya on that back pain, as my 4th L4 lumbar disc is degenerative and bulged! It SUCKS! Stay safe and healthy young Sir!!
This man's casual strength is to be respected haha
Nice. Don't need one, but now I want one! :-) Actually, doing arbor work, these are very handy to have. You can use an axe too, but axes are harder to release from the wood.
Nice handy tool, looks like it would really save your back.
John very nice job.
I love pickeroons
That is a cool tool! Thanks for sharing
I have put a triangular point on mine that helps release it from the wood easier. Just a suggestion if you have problems in that regard.
Love it I am a fire wood cuter in Washington state and use thoughts all the time up hear.
Great vid! Thanks for sharing.
Do you happen to have a vid about your hydraulic press? If not I would love to see one (and I'm sure others would as well)
love these tools. gonna have to get one someday
Nice quality video. Thanks for what you do, now prepare for all the youtube comments of "improper splitting technique." Since they know so well on the proper technique.
Yeah crazy how few people know to go after the sides first on a big round. Way easier than starting in the middle
@OldHickoryForge I actually have never even thought of doing the sides. So, not only did I learn that I need to forge myself a pickaroon, but also learned how to tackle a large piece like that
Take a look at power cord to the hammer lose. Be safe bro@@OldHickoryForge
Good job👏
Love your videos man. Keep up the good work :)
Every time I see that swage block I wonder what happened to ol Chandler
Good video, enjoy watching do your magic! Pickaroon very useful tool! Off line question, I have a sense you have yellow paint on your feet? If I'm out of school and wrong, just a question, if I'm accurate, Semper Fi!
No it's just sawdust and dirt.
Awsome job have you heard of an axe -aroon
beginner here, do you have any videos about which steels are great to use?
You coming to Blade Texas?
what up john i got an off topic question, im 25 and really have no direction careerwise. would you really recommend joining the army? i feel like i got nothing going for me
It's a good jumping off point. Can provide great life skills like discipline and time management. But I would say avoid going into a combat arms MOS. Go in for something that will set you up good in the civilian world. Do your four years. Get your GI bill and go from there
Where are you at in NC? Anywhere close to hayesville?
If the pickaroon is to save you from bending over perhaps you should get into the habit of leaning it and your maul against something instead of droping them on the ground and having to BEND OVER to pick them up. Just saying😁
