When it comes down to it there is nothing better than manual tools for your Lock pick Set, whether they be retail, homebrew, macgyver style. DIY'ers look here.

Absolutely stunning work! For some reason anodised aluminum looks in pictures like a product out of Photoshop or some CAD program, but as I've seen you make these, I know better :)

These are excellent quality museum pieces. You should offer a class in high-end technique.
Nothing is foolproof to a talented fool. Wisdom is not just in determining how to do something, but also includes determining whether it should be done at all.

I'm on the same lines with everyone else in this thread. Superb looks there.
Need to order a few and then get some tissues.

If you don't mind me asking; Where did you develop your metal working skills? Career or just a hobbyist?
