you can make picks cheaply, but buying a set is well worth the cost. You can buy a 14-piece lockpick set(10 picks, 4 tension wrenches), for about 20 bucks. Pick up a cheap lock at a hardware store, walmart, etc. for about 10 bucks.

Then take the lock apart and remove all but one pin and pick it. Keep adding pins until you get to 5 and can do it consistently. It can take time, but it's very rewarding after you're picking a 5-pin tumbler in under a minute after a day or two.
