Something Useful (what can i use for a pick case)

Tonight i think:
I have lots of homemade picks, without a pick case...
I try to think to something but i can't find anything that is similar to a Pick case...
Any idea??

Cheers
For 20 pix... my pretty DB sign removed... SIGH!

If your mom or sis has like a nail kit thing like for nail filling etc... Some kind of cloth thing like wat a iPod comes with. Could use a cassette case. If you have a drill set thing with the diff alen wrenches use that.

there ya go

Case? Get a box! Fishing box's work well, lots of compartments to put your bits / locks into. Don't cost much either, and you wont fill it easy with all those homemade tools :D

look in the local bigbox store, there are cases for ipods and pdas and such stuff that would make nice pick cases. even digital camera cases. the better ones are the hardcase varieties,

The all time hobbiest classic is the glasses case.

After that, see if you can find one of those cell phone / wallet combos. The pockets are pretty good for picks. Some are better than others.

After that, learn to sew. I use my sewing machine all the time.

I also use a sewing machine, this is the one I use for some of my picks.

I would rather have an industrial machine for sewing some leather projects, but the Singer works pretty well.

I use one of those square steel meshed makeup boxes that you find at Walgreens for about $5.99. It holds everything including followers, spare blanks, small vice grips, Impressioning file, pick gun etc.

All in a lockable robust box. I even removed the makeup mirror to use it as a tool in some cases.

1) The nylon case that comes with a Mini Mag light.

2) A pocket protector.

3) A large ball point clickie pen that has been gutted may hold a couple picks.

I use a pen box that those wannabe fancy pens come in, holds my leather pick case, tension wrenches and spare needles for my pick gun.

I keep the pick gun in the box it came in, along with my plug spinner, just in case all else fails, a sharp 9mm drill bit.
