ChonkyTonks Custom Picks
Keep in mind that the progression from my first pick to my latest covers a time period of about four to five months. I am fairly proud of the progress. You can be, too.

Thanks, Magician. Out of curiosity, what do you think would push the pick design portion to "awesome" status? I leverage templates for the pick designs, and really have not made anything custom, yet.

I didn't mean that your pick designs aren't awesome. I have been locksmithing more than 40 years. I have made a bunch of picks; and bought even more. I haven't seen anything new for years. What impresses me, as far as pick design is concerned, is a pick that lasts under normal daily use.

but not for lockpicking....
(let's just hope the design doesn't end up catching a finger.)
This is just a little constructive critisism, i am not trying to be rude...your rake is very aesthetically pleasing,and i really like your handles.
