Home made pick hand grip

[Sourman]

Hi,

I made some lock picks out of hacksaw blades, now I want to add hand grip to it so its stronger. I already tried secondglue but it didnt last long...

Does anyone have a good idea on how to stick them together? I dont have a welding machine so that's not an option...

Thnx

what are these handles, are they wooden or metal,

anything from a ducttape wrap, to sterlling silver has already been done.

wood can be made from two scales of thin hardwood, a little mortising of the inner area of the scales, then glued and clamped overnight and the handle scales can then be shaped and sanded to form.

I made my lockpicks out of 1/2 of a hacksaw blade, and the handles out of 1/3 of a hacksaw blade.

So it is just the same hacksaw metal

You might try metal/concrete epoxy glue between the pick and handles. I've used the Loctite stuff with mixed results. Be sure not to have a smooth surface, a sure way to have your epoxy fail.
