Starting to make my own picks :-)

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.

once i get a dremel thoigh, its my plan to find some junk yards and go crazy on anything and everything that could be of use. including some auto locks to fiddle with. hehehehehe......

nice picks btw, i hope my picks turn out half as good when i make them!
oh, and if you dont know what an L rake or anything is, try browsing around southord.com and check out like, page 81-95 or something for individual picks with pics and names.


I thought using a Dremel would be a little to loud for the heighbors when I lived in an apartment, but I bought one anyway, (if it were to loud, I could always take and use it at the shop) and it turned out after asking the neighbors if I was bugging them with all the noise, they asked me "What noise"?
