Black Zero 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.

I'm wondering what kind of patterns you could make
with different grits, and sanding directions (for grain effect)

A nice cammo pattern or maybe tie-dyed would be a fun experiment.
Toledo patterned picks would be very very nice.

As for overall design, it looks very intriguing and will probably work well in function and comfort. Really good start, can't wait to see how you progress in the future.


I'm sure the white messed up polish is still present in real life, but it looks to me that most of the white color of the pick came from camera flash. The tip slowly turns darker and I'm not sure, but it just seems like reflecting light. Could you take a few more pictures Black Zero? Good work by the way, you will get much better with practice. It's not half-bad either, it just needs more sanding.
