I just made my first few picks! I have a 14 piece southord set that I've use a couple of years. I've learned quite a bit with them but made up my mind to try to make a few. I made a half diamond, snake, med hook and a bogata. This is the first time I've ever used a Bogota style and I'm impressed! Now it looks like I need to fork out the cash and purchase a real one! The others seem to work as good as my limited ability.
They are made of hack saw blade on a belt grinder, hand sanded and run on a paper buffing wheel with white compound. I used my old picks as templates (the bogota was just eyeballed). i am looking forward to trying some new styles that I can print off.
Pics soon to come.
