my newest homebrew pick, inspired by ratyoke.

the pick is made out of drainsnake, polished to a mirror finish with a 6 inch ryobi cotton buffing wheel. other than that the pick was made with only hand files.the handle scales are made of the alluminim strips that the droors in a file cabinet ride on. i drilled holes in them because they look cool. :D .the handle scales were shaped using an extremely coarse flat file, sand paper, and two gritts of steel wool. I used 1/8 inch rivets to hold the whole thing together.






sorry the picture isn't great.

please tell me whatchathink. :mrgreen:

thanks josh, wozzlock, and awol70.


awol70: i have tried it out, it works really well for spp and light raking. it's kind of like a deforest pick except more on the hook side of a deforest.(the only reason i say that is because the picture isn't that great.)
