pick punch



using picks is an essential part of playing guitar, so von luhmann decided to invent a small gadget that makes guitar picks
from almost any plastic material. the pick punch is a small hole punch that cuts out guitar picked shapes from materials
like celluloid and even credit cards. the design is modeled after a regular paper hole punch, with the addition of a much
stronger punch for cutting from thicker materials. luhmann has done many experiments with the design including
laminating comic book between two sheets of plastic to create guitar picks. guitar players can thus continually make
their own unique picks, from any material they desire.

thickness and resistance is very important in a pick. You don't just slap away at any material

OH MY GOD! why did it take so long! HAHA

The amount of times I lost picks and attempted to play with a bread tag LOL I love this! and such variety (of course won't be as great as some picks that are available out there for purchase but damn! atleast we've now got home made options!)
