yea not very comfy but they work great (but i cant stand the hacksaw blades they bend easy). right now im putting together some picks together of wiperblades and shrink tube, they seem to be pretty popular.

oh,great...yeah i think you will find wiper inserts are the best material out there for pickmaking...
from the great price(usually always free),to the quality of the steel,and the perfect width/thickness of material,they just cant be beat.
did you use the epoxy resin?
it really makes a world of difference...

yea the quality of the steel is great i made a slim pick, and i was expecting it to bend. still hasnt bent and works great. i like the weight you get on the handle too, i didnt use the same shrink tube that you used in the vid because radio shack didnt have any. im going to see if i can find the kind with glue in it because the pick handle was moving a lot till i fixed it.
