Re: DIY picks

Post by doctorwho »

Sorry, been off-line a number of days and haven't checked my posts.

I have made two picks so far, one from a blank piece of plastic that came with my latest Blue Cross card, and the other from one the sheets of acetal plastic that i bought with the pick punch. I am quite pleased with it! The picks do require a little touch-up sanding (I got free sanding blocks with my order), but other than that, they are perfect.

I already have some ideas on making some interesting picks, but that will require me to find the time to research it a bit.

Interesting tool, indeed!

Now I know a better use for my credit cards! And more healthy for my account, too.

I will punch out some more picks and post some pictures.
