They look ok, i think from first look your rakes need to be more uniform in the width of the stem but otherwise ok,
Are you hand making the sets for sale? if so good luck keeping it up  it soon gets boring making tools for sale,

Nope change of plans Shrub. I spoke to Omikron over the phone and discussed some matters and these will not be for sale, i am following a diffrent plan. How ever if your just interested in like one of them PM me. Otherwise, change of plans. But your thoughts on them are welcome. Also a thanks to Omikron for some great advise.
Enjoy the Picks,

Welll actually the whole nine yards, i am going to have a company make me a professional grade set with my designs, but Omikron gave me well over 2 to 3 months worth a thinking planning a nd doing to do. I am trying my best with what i have to do it the right way. I might get lucky, might not worth a try though  I hope the pictures help some people along they way if there interested in making something new, But i will be the first to say the idea of making and selling was very stupid. My mistake though, thank god i got set straight before i had 100 newbies emailing me and as ray sad, my hand will begin to hurt.. more than they do now

Good luck Andy! I wish you success in your plans. You deserve it!
In the interest of readability, can we have a mod convert the pictures to links? It's really screwing with the margins.

Fulcrumatied????? What dictionary did you get this word from?
There is no such word, and it makes me confused of how you are using words to describe variations of your not for sale products with this.
The only word close is to my knowledge is Fulgurated: which means to emit flashing/flashes of light. Which doesn't even come close to your description.
I'm not picking on your words of choice but, please use words to better help explain your work.
On another note: the picks do look okay, so keep up the progression, it can only get better from here.

He means that he made a curved spot on the bottom of the pit (a fulcrum) which can be used to pivot the pick on. Not a word, but it does get the job done… or at least to an extent, I got it anyway.

Its a homebrew word Fulcrumated doesn't exsist i just used to to describe my addition of a fulcrum.. not the best bet it worked. Sorry for the confusion.

No big deal, i'm sure confusion happens sometimes.
BTW, how are the picks working out for you, and are there any more to come in the future?
