this is a free powerpoint viewer, and should work for you. You can only view and print, though.

Jarod, I used Open Office to open it, so it should work for you too.

That is one nice looking homebew set.

Very well done. Some interesting designs, too. You got a case to house your gear?

I would like to thanks Milligan for his template and ask to everybody the kind of picks that they prefer and why.

It writes, because the tip still has a little life left in it. I mostly used it because the marker had a story behind it, and I'd rather put it to use than keep it around for the sentimental value alone.

You really have a nice case

. I can't see if there is already some in but It may be a good idea to put some cotton wool in to reduce the sound of the picks in to make it look more like a real pen.

smart case idea, what i would do to reduce the noise is to get a little elastic band to hold all the picks together to stop them from dangling together, that should reduce the noise a lot

Some of them look a bit large, but overall excellent work.

Ok, I used the cutting tool handle idea to produce these picks:

I used plumbing snake for everything except the computer generated picks, which aren't completely finished. The computer picks are made from small feeler guage parts, they weren't made into a jackknife because they were more difficult to work with in that state. I plan on drilling holes in the leftover pieces of plumbing snake, and making them into a jackknife set.

I'm still working on my powerpoint templates, it's taking a bit longer than I thought. I'll keep you all updated, though.

Questions/comments/suggestions are welcome.
