That is a pretty cool station you made, looks very well done!

The picks aren't bad for a first attempt either. Do some more sanding on the business end and they will probably be very smooth to use.

the picks looks great, but correct me if I'm wrong..it seems that the pick stem lenght is a bit too long. did you design that for a ten pins lock cylinder.? as i know the longer the pick stem is, the weaker it becomes.. considering a first try, its looks pretty good. in its performance , you'll find it out.keep it on. trials and errors are our way to find solutions.regards.
