Feasibility of building an auto plucker

[max13077]

I haven’t really looked into it a lot. I thought before I did I would see if other had any experience trying to build one. It looks like it might be possible? Thoughts?

Absolutely do-able. Search here and Google - Whizbang Plucker.

In the near future i'll be working on one based on the Whizbang plucker design and using the Whizbang plucker featherplate and picking fingers.

I just was watching how well they work on youtube.... I remember plucking by hand 15 years ago with my grandmother. WBP looks A LOT easier! Keep me posted on how yours comes out

Mines going to involve an old washing machine some duct tape and about a case of beer. I doubt the outcome will be worthy of posting but then again you never know!

We can document...

Hey I have the old Alaska homesteader mentality as I'm sure you do. Beer and duct tape are the prerequisites to any successful project.
