hello friends. I come into this forum with some of the picks I make myself.
I show these here are made ​​of steel sheet of high quality leather handles and rigid.
I hope you like.
Greetings from Spain

I'm glad to be the first one to say that these picks look amazing!

They are shaped very well and sanded very good...

How did you make the handles? and from what did you make the picks?

By hand or by machine?

[fredy pick]

Sormano thanks, I'm glad that you like. These handles made ​​of hard leather. I use a machine and the termination is with lime. I try to put a video of your building area.

some of them appear to need some additional sanding on the edge where the pins ride, though the photography is beautiful as well as the picks.

For those with little spanish, what he means by lime is the hand tool we call a file.

it looks like someone has been inspired to create by ratyoke and kaotic

[raimundo]

I should have added that I use black sand paper in 320 400 and 600 grits that is rapped around some wooden sticks and held there by rubberbands, these sticks are often small like bamboo chopsticks, which allows you to get into the inside of curves along the cut edge. I hold the stick and move the pick along it usually though there will be times when the opposite method is easier or better.

fred is well begun and will only get better.

Thanks for showing that,

Raymond thanks for the constructive criticism, I am a follower time ago ratyoke's work and I have certainly influenced by his work. the tips of these picks are finished at 0.75 mm. it is possible that the macro picture a bit fattening.
Select this case I show was commissioned by a friend.

another example of this model, this little kit is a gift for a friend of my city.

Incredible pick set, I haven't ever seen leather handles before. From the looks of the cases, I would venture to guess you have a background in leather work. Again, beautiful tools!

Crazy work man! I believe this is the first leather handled set I've seen on LP101.
