Willl post pick templates if needed.

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.

Willl post pick templates if needed.

Just wanted to say that I would make available download from my ftp site to users here templates for the following picks. Southord standard picks, slimline picks, brockhage picks, peterson picks, and hpc slim handled picks, and a detail of an hpd safety deposit box puller. May have more in the near future. please let me know if this interests anyone as I will draw the safety deposit box nose puller in cat and make a pdf file and will take high detail picutures of all types of pics listed above. I would be interested in uploads to my ftp site of scaled pics of falle safe or lab or rytan pics. I will add my pics in the next couple of days to ftp://nickz.homeftp.net.

you should be able to click the link and log on anonymously. There is a folder named templates that you have read, write, and create permissions. If you have trouble accessing the site let me know.

FTP link?

Postby Romstar » 21 May 2004 17:24

I logged in, and didn't find anything. I assume that you haven't put them in the directory yet?

Romstar I am just now starting to take some pictures so I will have some loaded tonight. Do you have any preferences as to which I do first. I can do the southord standard picks, southord slim line picks, brockhage navigator picks, peterson picks, hpc short handled picks.

Ok first off, i should rephrase what i posted to begin with. These are not templates but pictures of the picks beside a scale. The peterson picks are now loaded on my site. I have included close up of the pick tips. There are 2 folders available. One is named peterson dial up for users on dial up and Peterson DSL for users on high speed connections. If you are on dial up please only download the appropriate folder as it is only 2MB where the DSL folder is roughly 30MB.

Pictures

Hey there.

One of the things I'd like to see is the SouthOrd slim lines.

Maybe you have a micrometer as well, and you can tell us how thick the steel is on the blades. That would be pretty cool.

I will get the southord slim lines on asap. I just finished adding the brockhage navigator set so it will be a few before I can post the southord slim lines. I may be able to add a text file for each set and take some shaft measurements with a micrometer for you but it probably wont be tonight. :cry:

I've taken a look at a couple of the pictures, I wish I could take such high quality images!

Now watch your bandwidth disappear into oblivion...

Text files and others

Postby Romstar » 21 May 2004 19:54

Hey Zeke,

The text files idea is great. Some people simply can't get the measurements from a ruler. And some, you can't get by looking at pictures. Thanks for all the work.

However long it takes is fine, I understand about time.

I am not worried about bandwidth at this point. I have a 3mb connection w/256k upload speed. I have my ftp site limited on the bandwidth it can use so I dont run into that problem. Sorry about the cap on the speeds guys but if I was uploading 256k 24/7 my isp would probably can me.

I uploaded 3 templates i made of some picks - short hook, small half diamond, and snake rake all in the file "picks.ace". They're a printable kind and proportionally correct. These picks are best made with spring steel flat plumbing snake, as the template width is the exact width of the spring steel - which is 1/4 an inch. Have a look, or delete them if you think they suck. If anyone likes the format let me know and i'll make more. (good idea zeke)
