Nice idea to collect them in a thread. When starting here I sometimes wished to have a collection like this for inspiration. 
I think there are not enough sources to homemade picks in the web (and when searching I mostly got to LP101 anyway), so I set up a web page for my picks recently. No big thing, just a showcase.

I have cut away at some feeler gauges with my dremel and made some picks. I will probably make some more but I have used a whole set of gauges and don't want to buy more now. Sorry about the crap picture quality:
The double sided picks were made from two picks on each side glued between two more gauges. The jacknife was made using a knife/bottle opener that I removed the blade from and replaced with two picks separated by washers, a bolt and thumb screw. I stole the ideas mostly off of bembel...thanks!

Thats really nice of you to spend the time to post them...It helps alot...
I'm gonna see if I can post a picture of my pick progress.
See the only tools I feel comfortable using are metal cutters and a file...

Nice idea to glue them together.
Maybe you could post a better closeup of the jackknife thing?

I tried jenovas link, and got an access denied, skolding . looks like the ministry of fear, uh I mean homeland security has been working, and I read that all they did was party in hawaii and spend the easy money the taxpayers give them.
