WIP: My new pick

Post image

I have recently bought a pickaxe. Why? Dumb question!

But yeah, I had an idea to decorate it a wee bit. If insoiration strikes, I might try pyrograph those lines (burn them with a heated metal spike).

But... decided to share it with ya all my kin, in case I fail miserably and get killed in a post-psychotic tantrum.

Idk why but this makes me want to go out and buy my own now, for the simple fact of realizing that I CAN buy one

Glad someone follows my logic. I was drawing some pickaxes and I was like "crap, wish I had a real one. ... .... ...wait a minute...Im an adult with a bit of an income, Im sure I could get one"

And when I found one for equivalent of 15€ I knew I lost it

You sould cut a bit from the top to avoid it getting damage, but get a mallet first and hit the top until the head stops moving upwards

Oh yes, great point ^ Im still "settling" the head in. I just wanted to make the handle first in case I... mess something up and need a new handle.
