Geeze you're right!! :shock:

Also, the stock is pre hardened so when you grind it, better be carefull or you will change the hardness of the material.

hmmm...maybe I'll just hit up spossum for some wiper bristles. Bad thing about those is that it is tough to make handles....easier with hacksaws...

You might check here noobking I didn't check it for anything that you would use to make a pick out of, but I'm sure they have something. Their prices are pretty reasonable I thought. It was the shipping that was expensive for me, but I was buying a lot of copper plate to make water cooling blocks for my pc.
