Since you're asking, I would say the shapes look like they'll probably work well, but the picks are in serious need of hand sanding. Get yourself some 150 grit and 600 grit sand paper and go to town with them.

Nice set. The lengths look ok, apart from the last pick on the right...the transition from the blade (shaft/shank) to the handle should not interfere with any of the front pins, when reaching to pick the rearward pins. Apart from that, good work. As suggested, a little sanding to remove the egdes would be preferrable also.

Isn't the last "pick" on the right a tension wrench?

Yeah. It's a little hard to tell, but looking at the shadow, you can tell it sticks up. Its a tension wrench.

yep, it's a tension wrench. i took the picks from above and the tension wwrench was pointing up. Problem is i use my dad's camera and he won't let me use it much

. THX for the feedbacks guys!

Sorry for the double post, we really need an edit button...
I'll get my self some grit paper and clean those up a little bit. Maybe i'll take a pic of them again.

I for one would love a edit button, but I guess that's what you get and we have to strive for the perfection of all those posts, of Romstar, Mr. Picks ,ETcc Ettcc cause as we all know I for one am not a machine! heh

Looks like a nice usable set, they could use a polish, belief it or not I finish with a 2000 grit sandpaper (u get it at an automotive store) and I a high quality gun oil to wet sand it (I know I'm a bit anal) but it is very smooth. Also to get a taper front front of pick to back I usually vice the pick with what I want to remove showing (I happen to have a set of digital callipers which helps) and hand file the pick-it gives a nice straight edge.
Anyways, the grips look nice and there a hell of a lot better than my first try
