My Home Brews
The metal is obviously wind shield wiper inserts as I have an Auto Zone just 5m walk from me so I have plenty of metal in all standard sizes and even in some unusual sizes.
Pick 1: Bogota made for a member on here but my horrible memory with names fails me again. I did a trade and my end was this pick. handle is made from plasti-dip which has a great feel to it. I left the tip of handle to stamp initials but I planned to do it at the end which was a mistake so by then it was to late.
Pick 2: A Dimple pick which is a standard Flag. Pick works great and the handle are thanks to Wiz. He gave the idea on youtube to take more inserts and add them with shrink tube. It worked great but still need more work to shape those ends of the extra inserts so they arent sticking out.
Pick 3: Im sure everyone knows this one as Bill did a great how to video on these handles. Since I watched his video half a year ago I have been looking for brass rode ever since until my great buddy Lock Butcher sent me some rode for a totally different project which I used. The tips are as follows: Left Dimple, Bogota and Gem so all that is missing from a completed kit is a tension tool lol. I had some trial and errors learned from making this handle so if anyone is interested in making one let me know and Ill save you some time and material.
I also have a few ideas on how to make handles from plastic but thats a much much later project.
