I Issue a Pick making Challenge!

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.

Seriously, this competition was an awesome idea, it's really brought out more artists in the community.


Yay for the LP101 One Pick Challenge!

Gibralter! That pick is pretty much amazing.

What's the bandage on your thumb from? Pick-making accident?

SEND THE PICK!

In case anyone is unclear - entries will be accepted right up until the moment of judgement. I will check the mail the second before we start!

KEEP THEM COMING!

Still working on mine, it WILL BE SENT within the next few days....sorry about the delay, in the middle of moving from apt to house....so things are kind of up in the air with equipment. Mine might be disqualified, but I'll let the judges handle that.

I'm still working on mine. I've run into a few manufacturing snags, so I'm enlisting the help of some guys with serious equipment to help me out. Only prob is, they run the same hours I do, which makes it hard to work out during the day. Hopefully it should be done soon...it may not be pretty at the end, but I'm hoping function wins it over.

There was mention earlier in the thread about a TOOOL meeting in Boston. I'm in the Boston area - I sent an email to TOOOL a few backs about the Boston section, but haven't heard anything back. Anyone know how I go about getting in touch with them?
