Home Made Catch Cherries
A simple easy instructable for a useful tool, that I built with poor materials avoiding to buy the commercial version.
It is a tool that can help you collect the cherries from the higher branches of trees without having to climb stairs.
The Components
The components are not critical and are all about recovery.
Some small pieces of bamboo cane, a piece of wood, a PET bottle and a cane of bamboo long enough and stiff.
As a first step I cut wood as marked in the picture, only proportion curve.

Then, with a tip by wood with chopsticks, I ran some holes equally spaced, a distance between them of about 1.5 cm, such as to allow the insertion of cherries, to be able to rip off pulling down.
After the holes I trimmed with Jigsaw as seen in the figure, in order to facilitate the unimpeded entry of fruits.

After fixed with glue each of the sticks, I installed the "comb" to the inside of the bottle, securing of iron wire.
With the robust adhesive tape (here by us is called "Ribbon"), I fixed the barrel of bamboo container so constructed
Go!!
And now go! Hunting, fishing for cherries.
Its effectiveness can be defined as "enough" ...; It would take something that would cut the branches attached to cherries instead of tear, because sometimes the tear is a little difficult. Bye...
