i belive that hook is in the range of $1.50-$2.00, so if you screw up you can always get a new one

you can do it with a cut-off wheel on a dremmel,
or just file it.
I reduced the size of mine also cos I felt it was just a bit too big.

Make sure you sand down the pick after filing, or grinding it, if you haven't done it anyway to your SO's anyway :P

home made picks

Postby scampdog » 9 Mar 2006 22:47

thought i would have a go at posting my first pictures of my own homemades,fingers crossed havent done it before.
Image
these were all made from feeler guages,using computer pick templates
Image
these were all made from hacksaw blades,i personaly find that the cheaper blades work better for me
Image
slightly modified pick case,but with the picks having no handles,you can carry a good selection of picks
Image
this is all the picks ready to do some work,the cover on the feeler picks is just a length of heat shrink,hope these come out ok.

That can't be comfortable! Ouch!

You've got the beginnings of a decent pick there, but in all candor it needs more work. Get the handle better, you'll be SO glad you did. Remember, many can go the mile, but few can go the final inch.
