You can get started with nothing but a bench grinder, a hand drill, files and a mess of sandpaper. Leave the brass for now and just outline the pick, grind it to the shape you want and clean it up with files. Find some handle material, drill the rivet holes and glue on the handles the way I show in the tutorial (one side at a time), glue everything up with epoxy or crazy glue and file and sand everything to the finished product. A Dremel is a great help, and a cheap belt sander clamped upside down will work to rough everything down so the handwork is minimized. After you have roughed out a couple and probably screwed a few things up, you will find the learning curve is pretty fast. Go for it!
