My first homemade picks

[Cajunpicker]

Just wanted to share this with you guys and seek some opinions of you more experienced pickers. This was my first attempt, not sure how i feel about them.....they seem to work pretty good.

Looks good, but be careful with that longer hook, it looks
kinda thin in the curve, might snap if too much pressure
is used. Over time it may wear out even in light pressure.
(I snapped one thicker than that... but I was in a rush)
but overall........ cool.

I usualy make mine shorter though .....
I can make 4 picks out of one blade.
(5 if Im feeling crazy)
A cheap pack of 10 blades at the 1$ store makes 40 picks.

If you want longer handles, you can make em from wood or something.

Nice, they look like the picks I bought for $1.50 each.
