Hi Gang,

    A source of titanium for picks may be as close as your local bicycle
    repair shop. Folks who ride competitively or like top of the line
    stuff usually have bikes with titanium spokes. Occasionally these
    get damaged & need to be replaced. Even if damaged, there's usually
    enough that can be salvaged to make a soldering pick. Stop at the
    hardware store on the way home & pick up a wooden dowel for the
    handle. I suppose you could use a section of wooden pencil for the
    handle as well if you can get the lead out. 

Dave
