Making a Pickup

[tmoney61092]

hey guys, i just watched the video about pickups that Alembic made ( http://www.thefutureschannel.com/dockets/insights/guitar_pickups/ ), and this made me really want to try to make 1 or 2 pickups
 
so i was just wondering, what kinds of magnet/wood do you use to make these ?where can i find these? what kinds of wire do i need?

this is directed mostly toward mica or other moderators who know, but anyone is welcome to say what they know/ have done

Very very interesting indeed - I might just try this and make some wood covers
