Micro rakes

Beautiful.

One interesting potential experiment here would be to see what differences you observe between your conventional "pencil" picks, and ray's pistol-grip Bogotas. Nobody's really isolated the handle shape as a variable yet, but your workmanship looks close enough that you may be able to.

Buzzy, those look great!

Question:
How wide and thick are your rakes? (When I say wide, I mean measuring the handle widtch, not the picking head or shank)

Thanks!

Good question! I almost took the set I photographed and changed them to a pistol grip, with the same thought in mind.

I will build some more and do just that, as time allows, I have been swamped with work lately. I hope I can be truely objective, as I have used the pencil grip for many years now.
The pistol grip took a little getting used to, but I have learned to like it a lot.
I suspect ray's design would have many certain advantages, even for an old dog like me.

In thousandths of an inch.
Thickness - 25-30
Width - 160-170

I didn't mean this to be a heads up comparison with the Bogata.

I just wanted to share a concept I was fooling around with.
