some home made hook picks

Postby net-rom » 14 Feb 2007 17:59

This is some of my home made hook picks

Materials: plumbing snake (a cheap one 2 Dollars for 4 meters)

Tools: cheap dremel copy with cutting blade ( 14 Dollars)
cheap key file Set (2 Dollars)
sandpaper P240 and P400

most of the work was done with the dremel copy and then fine tuned with the files and sandpaper.
It takes me 2 houres to make one pick form start to finish.

they works fine . . . i got 2 small sets a dino and a southord . . .but i find that it is the home made picks that i use moste (all moste 100% of the time)! by the way i forgot to tell that the handels are made form electrical tape this gives a nice grib and are cheap to replace .
