Pocket Set

OK so after my failed attempted with the Bar-B-Q Skewers I had my tools out so I made these.



I'm not happy with the snowman/double ball so I'm going to redo that one
Got a few more blanks so I might make some more picks for it, not sure as its got all the picks I like.

Feedback welcome & appreciated

Just turn that double ball into a single ball and your all sorted.

Yeah I was actually thinking about that, but grinding the bottom ball off rather than the top one.

Anyone got any tips on making balls?

Good luck keeping it round... I guess just take it slowly and it's smooth sailing really.

Picks look too big for UK locks, but if they work that's all that matters.

I'm still basing them on the template posted by mouse, the only one that dont fit in the locks at my house is the deep hook, a little TOO deep so I'm going make a gentler curved one



Pick number 1 (rake? Bump key? anyone??) is GREAT I love it
Pick number 2 is pretty nice to use too, but I think I'm going to round the edges a bit.

illusion: What do you mean by too big? shaft width? if so what width/size do you recomend? the half diamond shaft starts at 4mm and tapers to 2mm before the diamond which is 4mm high by 4mm long.

Nice looking picks and I had a bugger of a time doing the double ball as well, I used a diamond coated cutting wheel to do it.
