wow thats very similar to mine! except better finish id say, love the idea of using brass for a blade, how do u get on with it? im sorry i didnt get what u meant by 'alloy' i never looked into what alloy the brass was, something im gonna learn about!
Aedalas wrote:The reason I asked about the alloy is because I'm still looking for a good one myself. I've had a lot of experience with brass lately (look through my homebrew thread) and everything I've tried is either really hard and puts a hurting on my tools or way too soft and bends and scratches easy.the shepherd wrote:Aedalas wrote:I just realized what I like so much about this pick.

As for using brass for a pick, it works fairly well but I've been afraid to use anything but the very lightest touch I could. It does scratch easy, they're more of a show piece than anything. For the finish I sand 120 > 600 > 1000 > 2000 then finish with Blue Magic Polish. If I'm feeling real masochistic I'll go to 3000 grit but I've found it's pretty unnecessary if you plan on using polish.
