Hey I just got finished making my set. I've got a few tips for anyone making this.

The x-acto #2 is slightly larger than the interior of the sharpie pen (the sizes of the pen or knife might have changed since this was made). I discovered this, and so just thought I could grind down the x-acto to fit in. After doing this, the x-acto pressure fit in very well. The problem was it wasn't 100% smooth, and so it began to strip out the inside of the pen. After a very short time, it had stripped it out enough that it wouldn't hold anymore, it was slightly too big. Luckily I had a second #2 x-acto, and at this point, the smooth, un-grinded x-acto fit in perfectly.

Bottom line: if you have to grind down the x-acto to fit, make sure it's smooth and not gonna strip out the pen interior.

btw, awesome design! This works amazingly!

Holy crap. That's a seriously cool idea! I'm gonna have to try it.

Just reading this myself, and love the concept! I have another suggestion for the tension wrench... At the top of the pen cap, use a very small cutting wheel to cut a narrow slot through either side of the cap. The tension wrench would then be a narrow flat piece that slides half way through this slot, and the cap creates the leverage. You could make two wrenches, with each end having different widths, providing four different sizes of tensions wrenches, and they slip into the pen body nice and flat next to the picks.

Wow that is a beauty! A good idea too, because I live in Canada and I don't know a lot about shipping picks across the border. I am prolly better off making my own.

When I make mine, I'll post some shots!

Thank you!

Sweet, this is awesome!!! Ten picks and a tension tool in a sharpie! Mind= Blown. I need to make this as soon as I can.I'll have fewer picks and an extra tension tool, or maybe do the pocketclip idea.

That's a very swank pick set! Looks very aesthetic as well as functions, but if it's the pen James Bond wish he had, where's the actual pen?!

Good work there!
