[QUOTE="Greenhornet_au, post: 637891, member: 8767"] I have a project to photograph and put up in the diy, was going to do it last year, time flys by. As for a pick, I really don't know the real field needs for the design, I assume materials are the most important thing, like a bisloy hardness metal. Digging point, wide blade for scraping dirt around, weight dependent on dirt hardness and stones. Handle materials, length and thickness. There is a lot to consider...... 🤓 I needs a good think over it. A simple diy that can be knocked up on the kitchen table that would be durable, would be awesome but maybe not better than an off the shelf mattock in the end. Oh... I just had a thought.. LOL that is dangerous. [/QUOTE]
