Members scolfax Posted January 8, 2010 Members Share Posted January 8, 2010 This is pretty neat. If you like the stock shape seems like it would pay for itself pretty quickly: http://www.pickpunch.com/ [YOUTUBE]IBtz7TCsmYI[/YOUTUBE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members V-man Posted January 8, 2010 Members Share Posted January 8, 2010 I'd need to know what gauge metals (if any) it could cut, as well as whether there was enough clearance to template and slice loose beef curtain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members 55gibby Posted January 8, 2010 Members Share Posted January 8, 2010 Lets see... I go through 2 maybe 3 picks a year, $.25 each... that means my cash outlay for picks is $.75 a year.... Why would I want to spend the time and money? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would I want to spend the time and money? I go through a few a year. Plus I'd like to try and make some polycarbonate ones with my logo in it to give to my customers.

Members webwarmiller Posted January 8, 2010 Members Share Posted January 8, 2010 Just ordered one as well.....not because it will save me money, but because it will be fun to go around the house making a pick out of just about anything ;-). I'll also make some of the laminated ones with my company's name/logo to give to guitar playing clients. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would I want to spend the time and money? i go thru dozens of picks a year...and at roughly $6/dozen, this will be a no brainer if it works well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members photon9 Posted January 8, 2010 Members Share Posted January 8, 2010 I used to go through them quick too. Then I switched to 1.0 jazz style picks and they last forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Orange Jackson Posted January 8, 2010 Members Share Posted January 8, 2010 All you really need to bring a used pick back to life is hit it with a little 220 grit sandpaper. Picks last a looong time this way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members scolfax Posted January 9, 2010 Author Members Share Posted January 9, 2010 I lose picks all the time. After the initial $25 investment you can make 50-80 picks out of nice material for $3. Wish they made one with the Ultex Sharp shape though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members paulisme Posted January 9, 2010 Members Share Posted January 9, 2010 I thought this was a great idea until I saw the price. I'd pay $10 for one, but not $25. Maybe they'll drop the price if it becomes popular enough to mass produce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DonK Posted January 9, 2010 Members Share Posted January 9, 2010 It doesn't look substantial enough to punch cleanly for anything thicker than a credit card, so it looks to me like you'd be limited to medium gauge at most. A few years ago I bought an industrial hole punch for putting holes in my picks to aid gripping. I found that a regular office-style hole punch deformed the pick and didn't create a clean perforation. Doesn't matter now, because I've settled on Jazz III's and small, rocket-shaped D'Andrea 1.5mm's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Fusion1 Posted January 9, 2010 Members Share Posted January 9, 2010 Maybe they will make a Dunlop Jazz III shape punch. I've been using them for a while now. Also where is there a source for blank sheets of tortex matierial? Ultex material would be great to have as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
