Made some nifty lockpics

[Garrett]

Hi there i am new to this forum so i am not sure if someone made this already but from what i have searched i dont see anything similar.

I have used the common scalpel and replaced the blade with thick needle wich has been heated and bended. It give a great elasticity and a very well touch. You can feel everything in the lock.

For tension wrench i used a big twezer (electronics) that has the double L.

I managed to pick an standard european lock (i will post picts for all stuff as soon as i set up my cam) in 20 seconds and 30. Well i am new to this and it loked too fast for me. Although 2 to 3 atempts worked i had to leave the third because it seemed i started to put too much presure on tension wrench.

Congrats on the pick, sounds like you are on your way.
If I were you though, I would consider a new moniker....

That probably explains the lack of replies......I held off for that reason alone.

However, elasticity is not something you really want in a pick....sorta lessens the feedback.

Are you really a thief, if it is thats ok. Can i get your name address, a list of the things you have taken and posibly the phone number of your local police station. Also could you lable all the things you stole and put them on a table so it's easy to inspect?
Thanks for your help.

You people are funny...
Of course i am not a thief as my nick implies. Just thought it would be funny. Well if it bothers you i will change that (if sombody tell me how).

By the way is it ok if i post the picts on photobucket.com and then post the link here? Or this will not work?

Send a pm to a moderator about your name and yes photobucket works on here. There is a tutorial in the faq section about posting photos

Obviously, someone has been playing Thief III: Deadly Shadows (GREAT Game, BTW)

Well.. I sugest it to all of you in the forums. It maybe help you be a "better" locksmith.

Anyway what do you think of my tools?

I can't really make out the blurred ones, but overall, they look pretty nice!

I will try to take some new pictures. I had the macro off on my cam. This why they are blured.

Do they work OK? It would seem from the photos that the tang on the picks are round - Do they allow sufficient movement within the lock?
