Nice set there, for a beginner, but not anything nicely curved!

Now for the flames, the pictures are way too big! :evil:

:D

Before you pick a lock:
The first thing that you should do is check to make sure that
the lock is your's and secondly make sure its not in use.

Your case looks awesome.
If a lock is a puzzle, then its key is the complete picture

I really don't think the criticisms were intended to be insulting at all. I'll now give my opinion. I think it's obvious that you put a lot of work into this set, but they are a bit rough. I challenge you to spend a little more time on each pick and not be in such a hurry to start on the next one. When I make picks, I get a little nervous when I start grinding them down thinner (what these look like they need mostly). If you're careful, you won't screw it up. But if you do, it's obvious you've had a lot of practice making pick blanks so it'll be easy to just try again. All of this said, I think you should be proud of your work. But if you want to rise to the level of LN21 or Kaotik, listen to the comments left here. Good job! :-)

slimline

Postby raimundo » 15 Oct 2007 6:57

I would go for a more slimline type, but if they work for you, thats what is important, I don't know what kinds of keyways they have in Greece.
Wake up and smell the Kafka!!!
