I could use one of those. Listening to the dialog about the pound and a half head on a 36" handle, I have an answer to that one. A tool for everyone's box, that crankcase oil can be poured through a paper paint filter available at auto body supply stores, makes it much less messy. For those using it, that is... Very enjoyable episode Mr. @URBANLUMBERJACK...
Thank you! That’s a great idea on the filters! I saw a Casterman video with a PVC pipe for soaking handles, I’d like to try soaking one in motor oil to see what happens.
Some beautiful tools there with very nice handles! For certain a pickaroon is a must if you do a mountain of firewood. Save some of that bending for stuff lost under the work bench.. :)
I'm interested to see a difference in hardwoods between a hook and a pick. I have a feeling the pick is better for hard stuff. I really like the pine tar and linseed oil!
I think the pickaroon is going to be better for any kind of firewood. I’d file it sharper for hardwood though. I’ve been able to use the pickaroon to roll logs decently enough. I feel like somebody would need to deal with rolling a ton of logs before a hooks roof would earn its keep.
It is cool to see products out in the wild. This is the first I have seen of the pickaroon. They only had the hookaroon in production when I was there. We would see Rooster from Whiskey River stop in now and again.@@urbanlumberjack
Great video. I love charring anything I can. Definately helps preserve naturally and looks great. Just got the coucil pickaroon and splitting axe. Gonna put it thru this routine. Thanks for the great vid!
Whiskey River and Council Tool are both superb. Brandon and Craig are rock-solid honest guys. I own and use several of their products. My CT pickaroon has the shorter handle. I'll likely end up with both lengths. Great video. Fun and informative. Thanks.
Since you are a fan of USA made tools such as council tool, I am curious on your thoughts on Warwood tools but more specigically "the perfect axe." Made with 5160 steel. Would love to hear if this is another brand with a Premium axe worth buying. Keep up the awesome videos.
@@urbanlumberjack awesome! I live in north Carolina. I try to only buy things like this that are American made. It's even better when they are local. I think the cooper tires I buy for my truck are made in north Carolina. I could be wrong but I think they are.
Hookaroon/Pickaroons are awesome, come in so handy. I keep a pair in the ute, one full sized and one medium. Save a lot of effort. Keen to see about the Masting axe. 👍👍🪓
