In this video I show how I make a pickaroon. A tool I haven't seen here in Sweden at all. After testing it I can definitely see how useful it is for manipulating and moving timber, logs and planks.

Beautiful Work. No voice necessary, just the sounds of hammers, anvils and saws. In the 12th century, for those not fortunate to have been born into Royalty, the skilled Blacksmiths must have been the most valuable assets in the Kingdom.

Humanity 's advancement, from early man is based on the cutting edge. Just about everything that we have or need for survival today involves the direct or indirect use of a cutting edge. Hence the need for metal working, blacksmithing being one of the earliest and long lived .

Another high quality video as always Torbjörn! Thanks for always including a demonstration of what the tool does, as many of us (myself very much included) would have no idea of their purpose! And its also always great to see the fun and interesting things you do during the 'waiting' periods of the project; that Church looked so fascinating and full of history!

I've actually found two of those laying around in old barns here in Sweden, through the years. So in my (quite small) experience I'd say they were occasionally used, but nowhere near as common as in other countries. Nevertheless, great video as always!

My two sons and I making firewood every year. We own a large one with a long handle and two short ones. In Germany we call it "Sappie". The long one is for rolling the log and the short ones are used to lift 1m wood. Making wood without them is a pitty. They bitte into the wood without any effort, assumed the shape is perfekt. Thank you for this video.

The attention to detail, seeing what you want before it's done. the willing ability to do things (oldschool style) step by step. Amazes me, and brings back lessons old timers taught me in plastering trade. There are 3 ways of doing things: 1) the way it was meant to be done, 2) the way the man paying the bills wants it done, and 3) the best way "you" know how to do it... if everybody is happy in the end, you did something right. lol love watching these videos, keep doing what your doing

It was forged in Austria and differs from yours in that it is slightly more pointed. It allows me to transfer cut up timber on to my hydraulic log splitter one handed. Nice job and thank you for the video.

The only thing is, in my experience, that regular linseed oil dries too slowly. I now use only boiled linseed oil on my handles. For a blackened finish on forged items, blo is great. It takes time, however, and patience to use low enough heat not to burn it but high enough heat to polymerize it onto the surface. I have some items that are exposed to the elements the year round and have found that around the five year mark they require a re-application.

I spent 18 years working in a papermill using a pickeroon daily. Very nice job on the forging, to make it release a little easier and to make it easier on your wrist try rounding the tip a bit and adding just a small burr to the very tip. It will on occasion need re-filing but sure makes it easier to use. I still use one when doing yard clean up or handling any timbers.

У нас в России такой инструмент зовут "Клюв". Форма лезвия почти та же, разве что лезвие на конце как шило, а не плоской формы, а вот рукояти делают короче и изгибают круче к рабочей части, что бы проще было тащить на себя и поднимать за изгиб. Рукояти делают из свилеватой берёзы, варёной в масле. А ещё он парный, для обеих рук. А на длинной рукояти, по типу вашей используют рабочую часть в виде пожарного багра.

And of course for prying things apart (so if you have a few trees lying on top of each other and want to get access to one of them or if you just want to have space to get a chain around one). So in general it is just a tool that is useful for a surprising number of tasks even though it is really simple (just a hook on a stick).

I used to heat my house with wood, that would have been a very handy tool to have when my back was sore. Beats bending over sometimes.

Torbjorn Ahman is certainly a man of few words and wisdom beyond most. It would be an honor to meet this man and have a conversation, He's so gifted with the use of his hands and mind. Teaching as he does, is an art that most teachers fail to understand. This has to be absolutely the best visual demonstration of the old cliche` "A picture is worth of a Thousand words." Thank You for sharing your craftsmanship.

I bought one of these as a kid years ago in a closeout shop. Didn't know what it was, thought it looked "cool"! Then I had to figure out what it was... I use it a lot now!
