my handmade art-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.

Wow. Inspirational and thought-provoking! I love the organic feel. Thanks again for sharing, it's refreshing to see someone trying something totally new.

I'm sure you've thought of it, but there might be some value in keeping the tangs (the portion of the pick between the handle and the tip) a little more geometric. I don't think it would detract from the beauty of the picks, and I suspect it would make it easier to navigate the tip inside a lock.

:lol: That's a good one.

My favorite design, is the timrek. Did you mean to say t-rex? It kind of looks like a reptile. Maybe it's not a great lock pick, but it's really visually appealing. Very interesting artwork. Your choice of steel, is what I like the most. Impressive all around.

Looks like the pictures my cell phone accidentally takes of the keys inside my pocket. Could you light a candle or something?

Excellent job. They do look stunning. Since there is a lot of stock, there are many things that can sculpted from the knives. No limits to the imagination.

Keep up the hard work. (figuratively speaking). :wink:
