Homemade Tubular Pick

by **Chrispy** » 9 Nov 2005 6:24

I was hoping for an instruction post so I can add it to the Homemade Tools thread.

A list of materials, some important things to remember during construction, nothing overly brain draining.

That looks like a splendid pick. I'm not quite sure how you made it again..?? What did you need to make that (tools, materials...). Is it really worth making, I mean, does it really work..! Please post replies.

CHrispy,
Here's the best I can do wish I could work out how to add datum lines...

Maybe somebody can help, how do you draw datum lines on a pic with Photoshop6 .....................

What is excellent with this tool you can feel which pin is holding up and apply more pressure.
HAVE FUN

Hi,
I've been following this news group for some time now with great interest.
After haveing played enogh with my "standard" homemade tools I decided to add a new one to my collection so here are some shots of my homemade tubular pick.It was machined of stainless steel,the adjustable tension tool is made of aluminium.After finishing the "body" I started looking for a nice handle.Finaly I found that "Stanley" brand screwdriver which was just the right size and color and shape so i spended
7 bucks for that darn handle.

I'm still learning to use it,the adjustable tension part works nice but maybe
I should replace the O-ring with a silicone one.So far I've only managed to open a lock manualy by pushing the feelers till the pins hit the shearline.Enjoy
