They are actually more shiny than they look but your right they need more
polishing.sorry for the bad pic.

Excellent job for your first time.

A bit of time with a crocus cloth or some sort of a polishing rag and they would shine like sterling.

Great work

These are a few rakes i made this morning... they still need a final polish but i am pretty happy with how they have turned out (its my first time using heat shrink.

Tech specs:

Material used: Plumbing snake
Tools: Dremel, sand paper, super glue
handles: Two extra pieces of snake glued to pick then shaped with dremel and wrapped in heat shrink.

The Picks Look great Jow..

Jason have you ever tried those mouse sanders\Vibrator sanders. They work really well.

I am working on some hacksaw blad picks, ill post them once I am finished with all of them. The sander cuts your time down a lot.

They're spring steel from plumbing snake. I reinforced the handles with two more pieces of spring steel each and dipped them in grip dip.

Exodus, those picks look great. Very well done.
