... from old CD's. This video shows you how. I haven't tried it yet, but it looks like a fun project to do with my kids and the picks themselves look pretty cool.

That's cool, III. My daughter's off sourcing supplies for hers now. She's even thinking of making some for her friends.

Me, I'll keep to fingering my bass. :tongue

Whenever a bank or credit card expires and I'm cutting it up before throwing it away, I trim the lower right corner into a pick, e.g.

Even tho' I can't play guitar worth a damn, at least people know I have a credit card!

...Or I stole someone else's. Whatever, dude.

You know it really comes out better on a stolen guitar...

Update: daughter has cut out all picks from a CD now, cleaned and sanded one so far, with another not far from completion. Love the way it catches the light. :D

I have a hopeless addiction to Jim Dunlop Delrin pinks. Nothing else'll do.
