Curious as to the amount of people in Canada.

I am considering selling some pick sets, and although I am not posting them yet, I am curious as to the amount of potential canadian buyers there are?
Mine are all made out of hacksaw blades and windshield wipers. They are finished to a mirror like shine and I test all of them myself.

If perhaps someone could give me guidelines as to how much I should be charging per set or per pick, I can also make custom sets if requested.

Also I am wondering if there are ever any gatherings out west in canada? I am looking for like minded individuals to share information and get together to practice new locks with.

Cheers

There are also a few non-canadian homebrew collectors who would likely happily pay the shipping if you have something unique or high-quality on offer.

I am in BC, good to know I will check out a few prices myself to gauge it properly. Most of mine are pretty good quality, I am very QC oriented and used to work in a tool and dye manufacturing plant, so you can guess I don't allow crap in my collection. I will take pictures in the next few weeks so you can all see them. Not much time these days lately!

Answering to the topic, about 33.29 million

But yeah, your best option is to make some picks first and show some photos of them and describe them

Looking forward to it. Feel free to drop me a line directly when you do.

heres a rough idea of what they are starting to look like

Bottom rake is almost done, middle is done but needs polishing, top one is polished just needs to be sanded with fine grit!

appologies for flash .. not used to this camera!

I'm in Bc too and I would love to buy some picks, my dad won't let me use his grinder yet. How much are you charging?
