DIY Guitar Picks!
Kurt found this sweet link suggesting methods to make your own guitar picks.
Anyone have any good ideas as to what I could make a guitar pick out of?

tin can
hard wood (w/ finish), probably would want to laminate VERY thin pieces
or paper/glue
stone
glass (not sure what type wouldn’t shatter?)
clear epoxy using a mold (could use w/ sweet inlaid object like a bug or computer chip, or anything else thin you can think of, maybe a photo)
I made a couple out of an old library card. A little flimsy, but they worked.
Old/expired credit cards work well, so do those fake credit cards you get in junk mail.
Use an old work ID, and make your smiling face be in the middle of the pick.
Man, you people are BORING.

Schenk is right - hardly any guitar picks feature molten diamond anymore. Other ideas -
Carbon fiber
Plasticized body parts you lifted off that Body Worlds exhibit
G4 processors - stolen from running Mac computers
Dip a piece of the Shroud of Turin in epoxy (Debatably sacreligious, but you just know the J-bomb would help you rock crazy hard)
Fossilized dinosaur bones
FRESH dinosaur bones
The toenails of your enemies
Superglue together a few hundred hobo eyelashes (make a wish!)
Laminate children’s letters to Santa
AC/DC records
Eyeglass lenses
Bronze age artifacts
Start stealing parts off of Schenk’s Vespa
They say he carved it himself… from a bigger guitar pick
Dave who?
Good comment regardless.
How about from a motherboard from an old Commodore 64.
