Homemade amaaaazing pick gun

Postby zeepia » 4 Jan 2021 13:38

My old hair cutter was on its way to trashcan when I decided to give it a slightly longer life as a pick gun. Well, as I now write this it is already just there :D

blade came off easily

This was some pretty hardened stuff!!! If I had a way to measure rockwell hardness I would have liked to do it.

all parts ready to be assembled

well worth every penny I used in this project :wink:

Maybe I should have looked at least for one commercial product before I made this but I was very sure this isn't going to be my go-to-tool.

Happy new year!

I love adapting things for other uses. Even better I like adapting something I already have rather than buy. Good job. Let us know how it works out.

Well done! I like upcycling stuff. May try to remember your idea next time a hair cutter breaks.

It's nice to see you're still picking.
Happy new year!
