Nice, but what are the curved picks made from?

by **Jason13** » 12 May 2006 6:32

I think thats just bending wiper blades with pilers which would be hard and nice work!

I was thinking bra underwiring :!:

The one that i like the best i dont think its wiper blade cause fo the thickness of its handle but still looks nice.

Good effort and with useing them every day theres a supprising lack of useage marks on them.

Jason, wiper blade come in 2 sizes, the thin stuff you know and a wider one thats twice the width.

The curves are great and as suggested look like bra under wires.

How do you find the double pronged wrench? i made one like that many moons ago and it wouldnt hold up to the force needed (although i was useing it for differant locks) it just kept twisting.

Looks like very nice work. I'm also curious about the curves. How do you find them? It seems like the radius is pretty large, so I'm not sure what kind of action you're getting out of those. Have you found them effective?

The shrink tubing for the handles looks good too.

At first read i thought you had said (bearing in mind we think they are bra strips),

If there is a problem with the wishbonetensor, and it would only happen if the pressure is great, you can make another one, but use a longer piece of metal, and clamp and wire the pieces together, then using to locking pliers, about an inch or more apart, twist the center of the wishbone 360 degrees, so that there is an immobile locked up place, after which the wishbone spreads out. It will be necessary to make sure there is plenty of metal to follow the twist, which will shorten the length as its rolled in. fore and aft of the twist will need to be clamped securely against splaying before twisting. splaying is spreading in the direction perpendicular to the clamping of the pliers, you will see what I mean.
