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.

I watched your video, where you are burnishing (brunir) los mangas. and I see that the cut edges are not polished, but you might find some kind of finish that would help there, perhaps some carnuba wax could be put there, it is a hard finish wax and might be easier to apply if slightly heated causing it to get into the pores of the material

which of these is your favorite pick for opening the difficult locks?

raymond thanks for stopping and comment, I'm experimenting with different waxes, you will try to locate the comets me.
gerramientas this sneak peek is commissioned by a companion, gave me the templates, some of these are expecificas for a brand and model of my country (tesa t60) of medium difficulty.

I want to show tools that have recently completed, are for a companion to this forum, go to the U.S. tomorrow and I hope you enjoy.
with the tools to go with a custom carrying case 15 tools.
with these tools I have used a new system of polishing and I'm happy with the result.
fredy.

fredy pick, I just want to say thank you so much for posting your youtube video! These are masterfully made and you are being so generous to us by showing us each step of your process! Your video has inspired me with a passion to try to make picks like these on my own.

I don't speak Spanish, so maybe you described it in your video, but I would love to know:
- what kind of metal did you use? And where did you find it?
- what kind of leather do you like best? And where do you buy it?

I really admire your well-planned, well-done, masterful work. Thank you!!! *applauds* :D

sorry for the double-post. I watched the video again and saw that the metal comes from rake spokes. Genius! I would still love to know where your favorite places to buy leather are

Would you be interested in selling a set of your work? I've been looking for high grade picks but have found nothing as impressive as yours. If these pictures are any indication of the quality of your picks, I would be very interested in your reply.

wheezye such partner? I'm glad if my pieces are inspired to compose your tool kit, thanks.
I buy the leather shop personally in physical (not website) where I can see the pieces that I like. if you have trouble locating this material dimelo and send you some samples of mine.
I encourage you to continue and I have been your disposal to advise you on everything you need, language and distance are no problem.

hello my friend, really appreciate your comments and they will interest my pieces. I do contract work for anyone who is interested, many colleagues in my Forum Spain already have one and some sold in europe and usa.
if they look nice is because I enjoy building them and I put passion in the endings, I like to customize the parts and kits that are unique and lasting.
drive tool costs $ 8, I consider it a good price for two hours and the case is included in the price.
If you are interested in comprehensive information private.

show the last case that I made for my friend in Barcelona.
greeting has all.
