My Old Homemade Set

[twiggymm777]

hopefully that photo worked. its not the best quality picture. im still somewhat new at posting. not so new to the site. im training to become a locksmith. i pick and make picks alot on my free time as a hobby... anyway thats my older first set of home made picks. i didnt have a bench grinder at that point in time so they were all made using a small triangle file and hack saw blades. please let me know what you think.

from right to left:
single sided, half diamond, hook, snake rake, skinny half diamond, snowman, (i made this one up) kinda looks like a half snowman

thanks

Well done for the tools you had, must've taken forever and maybe it's just the picture but they look too rough and probably in need of sanding/polish.

Welcome to posting.

Very nice work must've taken you forever uh
i did my homemade too similar to those here.

it wasnt too bad considering the tools I had to use.. I would say around 3 hours per pick.. and they're not too rough. thats just some of the grey paint from the blade. but I did end up sanding the paint off of some of those. and they did look nicer after that. i have a couple other homebrew sets i made after i got my grinder. they look a lot nicer because I grinded all the paint off of them first. hopfully I'll get around to posting some more pics of those soon.

thank you all for your opinions
