Picking up apples by hand is laborious
Build Fallobstsammler itself
If you are looking for fall collectors on the Web, you will come across an interesting looking, spherical construction of metal wires. In numerous videos you can see how this fall collector easily picks apples, pears and - depending on their size - even eggs and nuts. But is he also suitable for DIY?
This model is very sophisticated, but even difficult to replicate. If you happen to have strong but flexible wire on hand, you can still try to make a bullet out of it. The problem is the connection of the wires on the two sides of the ball, because this connection must withstand even under pressure. It would be best to weld the wires, but also a deep connector, e.g. in wood is conceivable. In order to make the Fallobstsammler as simple as possible, dispense with a movable attachment to the guide rods and simply screw them on. So you will not be able to roll the fallout collector but just push it, but it works that way too.
