Custom Thumbpick

How to make a custom thumbpick

[@ArkRed1]

I make small rivets to hold the new tongue to the thumb pick ring. I use Delrin for the new tongue. Supe glue won't adhere to /Delrin, but epoxy will Rough up both surfaces to get a good glue bond. I can make the Delin in different thicknesses using a sandy wheel on my drill press. From .055 to .090.

A really nice idea. I will try that because I don't find a fitting Pick for me.

I never thought of this idea but I love your way of thinking

Not bad. Finding the perfect thumbpick is necessary. Many players reshape ready made picks for this reason. I try to find ones that are longer and reshape the blade. Fred Kelly picks are my favorite.

Do you think scoring or sanding both surfaces prior to gluing would be worth the effort?

[@Opticsed]

I don't but being flat is likely more important.

[@dankelly7712]

Great idea. But would it be better to fasten the flat puck to the inside rather than the under side? Less stress

[@Opticsed]

No it would come apart more easily, I normally pick down seldom up.

[@ipappim7336]

the reason thumbpicks are hard because usually bass players use it

[@damnyankee5565]

Pick on the inside so your always squeezing it......
