been checking your site out for a while thought i'd finally register. got my first tools (s-rake and tension wrench) at 15, i'm 27 and have been making my own picks, for about 6 years. have learned alot from the ppl in this site (pyro1234321 in particular, but everyone's been helpful) and just wanted to maybe give a little back.

Hey this is my first post!
I've been trying to get into picking but haven't been able due to lack of money and such. I like figuring things out so I think it will prove a good hobby. First puzzle is how to make some picks without a grinder or anything heavy duty...

Get a small set of needle files and some hacksaw blades.
They are selling bench grinders for £15 round where I live.. I was suprised when I saw them.
Well enjoy the site.
