The "How To" index

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.

The "How To" index

Postby yanksfan » 20 Apr 2009 12:56

Recently I was looking for some "how to" guides on various subjects, when I couldn't find what I was looking for (in a reasonably quick fashion) I thought about making a "how to" index to help everyone find what they need faster.

*NOTE* These "how to" guides were not written by me, nor do I take credit for them. I will try my best to cite the author but if I fail to please either; supply me with a name or ask for it to be removed.

Also there is a good chance I looked over quite a few guides, if you would like yours to be added to the list please post it here.

So here we go

Good idea, but I would prefer not to be put in a zip file. The reason is, I make small edits to my post every time I refine my pick design. Someone following my directions from a zipped tutorial could end up with uncomfortable handles.

Great Idea, though I must agree with Legion.
Anyway sticky is much better that way you'd get the updated versions, and it can stay at lockpicking101 without anyone ripping them and taking credit of someone elses work.

I was also think of adding a "useful info" section on to this thread, does anyone have any opinions on this?

Well maybe its just me but i don't understand what exactly do you mean. Care to give an explanation of what you have in mind when saying "usefull info"?

What I meant has actually been done (Duh!) and it's simply the "Pick-Fu" board lol.
Ahh ignorance is bliss. :)
