Falcon's Homebrew

[falcon]

These picks are my lates creation
The picks are made of Windscreen wiper blades
The handles are made of metal wire spun around the picks, and then soaked in super glue
I haven't sanded the picks down yet(excess glue on the pick and handle)





These picks gives awesome feedback!

great job mate i really like the wire handles thay look awsome

[chris]

Those are excellent, I never thought of using spun metal wire dipped in glue. Very cool.

[falcon]

Thanks for the feedback

Now something i made today(finnished it 10 minuttes ago)




It doesn't look beautifull, but i'm satisfied.
It's made with a hacksaw and dremel

wow very nice set

[darkhorse]

those picks look the dogs bollox and those cutaways must have took ages....nice job

[Oldfast]

I've thought about using wire for the handle and dipping them in some sort of clear coat. I thought it'd look nice and still be very solid for feedback...... I see now that it does look really nice. Great job man, and thanks for posting them.

New homebrew pins:
Made from screws that i cut into pieces and sanded smooth



I tried some in a trioving 5 pin cylinder, and i managed to pick it consistantly with some practice
They are just like serrated pins
I think they will be harder to pick with a mix of diffrent pins

I like your picks. Only downside I see are the superglue residues, but I hope they'll wipe away with use.

Unfortunately I can't see your homebrew pins... maybe something went wrong whith the picture?

Cheers

Thank you for the feedback!

The handles was sanded smooth, and all excess superglue removed
I just didn't have the chance to take new pictures before i shipped them away...

I tried to change the picture url , hope it works now

[femurat]

Now I can see it, thanks. I made some standard pins some time ago, and never tried it again. Nothing special, here they are, if you're curious

I'll eventually copy your pins idea, looks interesting.

Cheers

those are some wicked picks man. I really like how solid they look. I may have to copy you, if you don't mind of course. I'm still a little green on protocol.
have you though of maybe dipping them in a clear coat epoxy? I have some stuff I use for building kayaks that would make an excellent finish.

Nice pins!
I've tried to make diffrent types of pins, but its hard to come up with new designs

I just used 1 dollar tubes that i got at a random store,i dont know what kind of glue it was...just "super glue"
Use the idea all you want, my ideas are open source lol

Looks like some nice work. I like the idea of using the wire for the handles, way to think outside the box!
