I have a set of hand made picks, and it isnt nearly as easy as it looks. Using a file is slow, and a grinder can heat up the metal quickly, causing it to be too soft. Also, making the pick a constant thickness and/or symmetrical is extremely difficult, even for people good with a dremel.

Thus, it's worth ordering a set from Ray, which - I think - was the general consensus around here.

They are just so cool! To have this tiny polished piece of metal in the palm of your hand, knowing that you can open any lock* that gets in your way is a great feeling. To anyone who is even considering purchasing these picks, GET THEM NOW!!!! They are just so cool! I can't say enough! Thanks Ray!!
