This morning I went out to the shop to make my Pickaroon/Hookaroon, a multi-tool. It is now a felling bar also, plus I can visualize uses for it when blocking logs.
After I got the chisel looking foot welded on, I fired up the torch and heated the whole end red hot including the pick, and then stuck it into the snow out side the shop to temper it. I think it will be a very handy tool.
Also added a couple of pics of my Cant/Log lifter that I bought many years back from Northern Tool. Broke the handle this summer, but I was able to remove the wood dowel from the metal conduit handle and reinforce the handle with a piece of black iron pipe and weld everything back together. It is a supper handy tool when blocking firewood logs, along with the jib pole with winch, to pull logs out of the pile in the landings that I make.
