My first set of picks. What do you think?

by **Artkrp** » 2 Dec 2007 1:49

Finally got these done! Thanks to mjwhit for the templates forum and Romstar, BazookaMedic, and Exodus 5000 for the great templates. Thanks to Shrub for the pick making guide.I tried a couple of different handles and decided I liked the plasti-dip ones. The solid handles feel nice but I don't have the touch to use them, not that I can really use any of them yet anyhow

any-hoo....

I really like the look of your picks...especially the Falle Safe reproductions... Great job!

by **Artkrp** » 4 Dec 2007 5:46

Wow! Thanks for the compliments! Now if I can just learn to use them....

what is the material for the ones on the left
it looks like brass ?

can you do some close-ups on the one at the upper right
it looks interesting

by **Afisch** » 4 Dec 2007 13:28

Brass? as if brass would ever open a lock. :lol:

I agree nice picks, is that the plastidip stuff on the picks?

by **Artkrp** » 4 Dec 2007 22:04

They're just hacksaw blades. The discoloration is from bad lighting. I would take a close up of the ones in the top left, but I had to borrow a
camera to take those photos. My next project is to make some bagota
picks, Raimundo style! That's assuming of course I can find some street
sweeper bristles. Would a windshield wiper blade work?

by **Artkrp** » 4 Dec 2007 22:08

Yeah,the handles are plasti-dip. I dipped them three times to get the thickness I liked on the handles.

My first set of picks. What do you think?
