Hi guys,
I wanted to show you some of my diy Picks:
This Pick-bag is handmade by me and my Wife.
Not all the Picks are selfmade, but the most are.
These two 2in 1 Picks i also made by my self out of
Stainless steel.

Great Looking Picks!!!!!

oooh NICE!!!

Thanks
The Dimple Pick-Handles are made of full Alloy.
The Material of the Picks i prefer are Street wiper Bristles.
Here´s another pick from me.
Its my first selfmade Disc-Detainer Pick.

Impressive work. Thanks for posting the pics.

Very nice home mades the case looks like peterson leather, how do you know you have the right angle on your dimple picks ? have you put them in practice yet ?
The 2-1 pick looks really good better than what ive paid for in the past and your disc detainer pick & reset key lool really well made thanks for the post

That's some good looking home brew you have going there, hope to see more in the future!

Great looking tools. How do you attach the upstands on your 2n1 picks? Also - where did you source the wheels for your picks? I'd love to find some like that instead of using wood.

DUDE! Nice stuff man! You wouldn't happen to have some pics as you went along during the making of the 2in1s would ya?

I'm with Elbow, I'm pretty sure there are a few of us out here that would like to see a step-by-step on how you made that 2-in-1 pick. I'd love to see how you made that. It would be a good tutorial thread for the site.

Excellent craftsmanship. The 2-in-1 look beautiful -- did you use a lathe? The case is beautiful also.

Hi Guys,
Thank you for that appreciation
The Case is made of real-Nubuk-Leather out of an
old Jacket.
The Most of the parts of the 2in 1 Picks are made on my Work.
I Made them on a Big old Lathe.
The Wheels and Feelers are made of 18/10 Stainless Steel.
The Pipes are made of Inox.
The Feelers are handfiled with Diamond keyfiles.
The First 2 in 1 Pick is not only a 2 in 1 Pick,
it´s a real Hobbs Pick, as you can see.
You can Remove the Tip.
I Think i can make a Step by Step of that Tool,
but that can take a "few" Days.
I also can make a Step by Step of some Picks,
but that goes faster i Think.
Some nice Pic´s coming soon.

Very nice! I'm especially impressed with the 2in1 and the disc detainer pick. Are the knurled handles made from steel or alu, and where on earth do you get them?

The Handles of the 2 in 1 Pick are Made of of Stainless Steel,
and the Handles of the Disc-Detainer Pick are Made of
Alu.
All part´s are selfmade by me...

Nice stuff. You're not using an Aloris knurling tool are you? If not, are you using a fixed or self-centering head?

Oh and, how did a guy in Germany get a username of Kamikaze? Lol we have a "what's your name" post http://keypicking.com/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=507&start=45 if you ever feel like indulging us with that little secret.
