filing cabinet folder tab picks

Just made some nice picks out of the metal tabs found on filing cabinet folders, so if anyone has problems getting plummer snake or hacksaw blades they could still make a good set out these.

anyway just an FYI, :D

i know theres tons of folders at my college that they just throw in an old filing cabinet because they no longer seem to have a use for them. they are seriously battered, but the metal parts seem fine from what i remember. they're in the snooker/pool room as well, so i should be able to get a few in one of my free lessons when theres nobody around. :D

i'll see what i can do about getting a load of them! i know they put a lock on the door last time i was there and i cant pick lever locks yet. had the yale they had on it open in about 2 secs before though with the library card they gave me. and i thought it was useless.... :lol:
