Made this over the last couple of days , first pick made from the feeler gauge stock i traded with Chronoscambridge , took a long time to make and still needs
a little thinning down and a good polishing but i love the way it sits in my grubby paws !

Thankyou Edsmily , it took several hours and i will make another few eventually , these are keepers though and i'll vary the angles on the Falle type ends
so that i can cover as many lock designs a possible

I like how you did the two ends upside down from each other, unlike many double sided picks I've seen. I bet this way is more comfortable in the hand when picking.

Exactly MBI , i've had an attempt or two at pretty picks but being fit for purpose is paramount , so reverse is great for a snug feel , the hook is now quite a bit smaller
than in that pic and the falle end will be trimmed down too .
The polishing will begin then and that bores the bollocks off me , but hey ho what can you do ?
