That looks awesome. I'm sure if you made more people on this forum would offer to buy a set from you.
If a lock is a puzzle, then its key is the complete picture

Where can one purchase this Fimo material? How much is it to buy and how many pick handles to you get out of a certain sized package of it?

Thanks for any help you might have.

For the best book out there on high security locks and their operation, take a look at amazon.com for High-Security Mechanical Locks An Encyclopedic Reference. Written by our very own site member Greyman! A true 5 Star read!!

I bought mine from michaels ( http://www.michaels.com/art/online/home) its a arts and crafts store
its $2 USD for a 63 gram packet , IMO you need 2 packets @ least to make a proper mold ,, then you can get 2-3 handles from each packet depending on handle size . also mold beads , small glass beads help to keep the mold aligned
