Chicken Plucker

[jeffjbar]

I have been looking for a chicken plucker (Whiz Bang style) for a while and haven't been able to find one for sale. I will be making one next week and it would be just as easy to make several as it would to make one. I am seeking interest in anyone who would like one made as well. I don't have any details on any of it yet, just wondering if there is anyone out there that wants/needs one also and cannot make it themselves. Thanks.

I have built two of them so far..

I have found that because of their weight and bulk, they are very expensive to ship..

so your market is cut down quite a bit for pick-up only delivery..

and to come out even close with material you have to get at least $550.oo/ea

fingers alone will cost $125.oo..

I have made a few improvements on the original plans..

I could EM you some photos if you like..

My way takes NO welding.. and you can use 1/8" aluminum for the feather plate..

I am in Paducah, KY. I am not sure of cost yet. The book with the instructions should be here Monday or Tuesday and I will find the parts needed and the costs of them. I will add a little for my time and effort, but I am not trying to start a business with these, I just think it would be just as easy to make a few at a time. Once I get the specifics on everything I will post it. Thanks.

quail hollow pointers,bigbyrd and jeff, and anyone else.. rather than highjacking this thread, each one of you should PM me with your email addresses and then I can answer all of you at once instead of typing the info a bunch of times.? I can send pictures on regular email also.. I cannot send pictures here for some reason..

I built the Whizbang just as described in the book, and it works great. I'll never pluck another chicken by hand.
