Made some new picks (images)

Here they are.

Made from hack saw blades on a bench grinder.
The handles are shrink tubing. Beats blisters...

Could do with some more emery'ing and a better camera though :0P

Excellent work. I don't see a snake though. Would I be right in assuming that would be a real pain in the a** to make on a grinder?

by **stick** » 13 Feb 2005 16:57

Yes. A dremel or file is pretty much required to make a decent snake.

Thanks guys.
They do a good job :0)

I am skeptical about the snake. I dont see how serrations on both sides of a pick can be any use... But all the same, I will make one today.

If, on a flat piece of metal, you have thin parts and thick parts, as evidenced by the W-rake made my Southord, you have higher likelihoods of the metal snapping at the thin parts. If you were to cut a snake so that it was an even width throughout the pick, it'd be less likely to snap. Basicly.

Durrh, I mean basically.

by **meat-bix** » 14 Feb 2005 2:59

Not great unfortunately.
But it should do for now...

looks kinda think, and unless it is made out of some strong type of metal, i would exect it to break quickly.

And just my personal preff, but i love my snakes, both of my good ones(one of them is a HPC pick) are my fav pics, and i find them one of the most usefull picks. But it is your own personal preff, and differant people have differant styles that use differant picks better (AHHHH so much differant!!!!)
