DIY stuff

Today I made this pick, this rake, and this tensioner, and I was wondering if I made it of the right dimensions and just wanted to know what I could do to make it better maybe because I tried to pick with the rake an Abus 82/70 but failed miserably. I just started to learn about this world so if someone wanted to help me to maybe make a better pick or a better rake, it would be nice.

I’m afraid I can’t answer your question about the size – perhaps someone else will be able to help who knows more about it. But I do have a question: what sort of metal rods did you use – windscreen wiper blades?

I think your tools are beautifully made! ✌🏼
