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.

Truly works of art. Wish I had more experience so I could justify ordering 1 or 2.

Yes I was teaching English. I really enjoyed it and I am going to be going back for another year as soon as I find a new job. I didn't see any interesting locks, but I didn't look very hard either.

very interesting korean spy story tv programs found on hulu,
Athena goddes of War
Iris
If you don't speak korean, check the closed caption option for the yellow type as the white type can get lost in background

The little James Bond inside me wants a set of onyx handled pick with diamond accents. Some fancy dress picks, to match a tuxedo.

I haven't been on for awhile but I sure am happy to see this thread is alive again. Eagerly awaiting any more pics of picks.

Snakewood  Boxwood. This pick was sanded up to 8000 grit and its really smooth. The boxwood takes a real nice finish. I completely failed to capture it in this photo...  another pic...  Not a pick, just a wood carving knife I made for myself. Snakewood handle, sterling silver ferrule.

Impressive craftsmanship. Good luck in Korea, when you go back.

Wooden handles are the best for working in a cold climate. the aluminum or other metal handles draw the heat right out of the hands.
That looks like your usual perfection ratyoke!

I enjoy making the wood picks more. But I plan to make a few aluminum ones again soon.
