use your grinder to shape them and keep quenching them in water.

use the thicker ones and finish them off with emery cloth.

There are templates for picks on this site, I can't remember where
but if you use the search button you should find them.

Good Luck

dam! i just went and brought carbon-steel hacksaw blades and made some killer balls,hooks and half-diamonds!,and also...i got some heatshrink tubing for $11AUD with a variety or different coulours and sizes,man this stuff is da bomb! i just out some white tubing around a pick,and it just slowly slowly shrinks to the pick,im using this stuff for all pick handles i ever make.
