Thanks for the tip, Raimundo. Light tension is not really a problem for me. When I started, I challenged myself to see with how LITTLE tension I could pop a lock. I was astounded with the answer, and continue that challenge to this day. The person who first showed me how to pick could barely open a simple Master Lock padlock, even after years. I also never knew him to open a lock without bending the pick and tension wrench.
My problem, based on your tip, is holding the rake too stiffly. I'll give it another shot like that.
P.S. Bought a set of Titans and a set handmade by you. You do GREAT work, Raimundo. Laid them out next to the set I made using your tutorial, and saw what I already knew. . . My first peak is too rounded, but my spacing and everything else is pretty good. I'll upload a pic of mine next to yours if I can figure out how to upload it from my iPhone.
Just when you finally think you have learned it all, that is when you learn that you don't know anything yet.
