Home brew Bogata arch

Ok, be gentle :hbg: this is my 1st Bogata. It's is my version of the arch. I purchased the titanium set which is great but wanted an arch so out came the tools. I slimed it down for the small key ways. It's stainless .024
Works pretty well. Please critique so I can improve

Re: Home brew Bogata arch

I picked the Brinks security and the diskus with it. It is polished to a mirror finish and I buffed all the edges. It goes in really smooth.

The next few will be better. Now that I kind of know how to go about it.

Re: Home brew Bogata arch

The shape looks good Jay. I can't tell from the picture if all the rough edges have been knocked off but if they are then I'd say that functionally you've done all you can do for it. Any polishing beyond that would just be for the sake of a mirror shine that will be lost after the first couple of times you use the pick anyway.

Never mind. I guess we were typing at the same time. Great job!!!
