This pick is for Edsmiley. Made from 0.025" Starrett feeler gauge stock with G10 scales affixed with JB Weld. I just finished it this afternoon and snapped these pics real quick so he could see it.

Ed, let me know if this is acceptable. As I have said before, I'm not sure how well the JB Weld is going to hold the scales on in the long run. If you decide to take this pick and at some point the JB fails just send the pick back to me and I will fix it or replace it (shipping will be on me both ways).

That is a really good looking pick you made there. I'd like to now how it holds up in the long run as well.

Simple...yet elegant...a certain sophisticated flair unencumbered with the trappings of ego or self importance...

I rate it at :hbg: 5 out of 5 plumpies....

I tried to make an arrogant, egotistical pick modeled after my penis...unfortunately I couldn't reach the 5th pin.

Oh baby. It's a good thing the handle doesn't have a rounded end or ed's wife would in all likelihood be caught in a very compromising situation with it. :mrgreen:

At the moment I am not interested in selling picks, although that may change. I could possibly be talked into a trade if said trader has something I really want but I'm not making any promises there. As you can see from my initial post, I am concerned about the possibility of the JB weld not keeping the scales on the picks and I sure don't want to be selling stuff that falls apart after a couple of months.
