My New Pick

[cecc]

Hi guys got my new pick from Ron from the forum, all I can say is, 'Wow, what a quality pick from the head of the pick to the handle, expertly made and a lovely piece of equipment, can't wait to try it out at Gympie.

Thanks Ron, I found Ron and his wife a joy to communicate with, I rang them the other day, he was out fencing, down to earth Aussie bloke working on the land, and the pick arrived in 3 days here to QLD. I would thoroughly recommend this pick to anyone who wants quality and expedient service with a smile.

Cheers

Len

If you have the time & the energy you can make a pick from old car- truck springs, they also make excellent butchers knives.
Unfortunately it is very hard material to work with but the end results won't be worn out by you or the next few generations.

Yeah JT, I haven't got the equipment to make one of these, wish I did, the steel is ridiculously hard, as you say I won't wear it out, actually last Fri at Gympie with Tribsa, I said to him, this thing will see me out and many more.
