[QUOTE="Greenhornet_au, post: 639604, member: 8767"] Like my original "plug digger" project, I just would like to come up with something easy to make for some one that either likes to make their own stuff, or wants to try a pick as a starter for cheap. Having bought 3 picks now (review to come) and seeing all the advice, I will be hard pressed for a quick table top design that would last long with a serious 'gold hunter'. You guys making picks are pretty serious, the picks are serious gear. Tried and tested. Plow disks are less common in the city so that is not likely to be part of the plan... but I hope to come close to the FREE or $10 Bunnings spade deal that made the plug digger so popular. I think it is a challenge 😎 to do without welding and not buying a handle, or making a handle from scratch. Anyone would be welcome to use or modify the design as they see fit, I have a couple of idea's for now. [/QUOTE]
