My first DIY pick set.

[jordancpetit]

This is my first DIY pick set, I made them all today, and I just started picking locks yesterday.



Tell me what you think.

Do you rest your arm on those while your picking ?!

Welcome to LP101!!

Nice set you got there, it's rare you see a newcomer with a home-made pick set..Impressive.

BTW, are you french, cuz I am..

[jordancpetit]

haha, yes I am.

Well, I made this set because I am too poor to buy a set. Plus I figured if I made a set I'd know more about picking then just buying one.

[ThE_MasteR]

Ahh c'est bien !

Vu que les reglement dans presque tous les forums sont de respecter la langue du forum je ne vais pas parler en francais, mais parle moi en francais quand tu veux mon ami..!!

Yeah, you will learn more about picking, plus, you develope a sense of making stuff..

[jordancpetit]

oui vous remercier

c'est agreable pour rencontrer gens plus des francais

For some reason, I was only able to pick the no.5 master twice, and that was in studyhall yesterday. I can pick my no.3 no sweat at all, I'm going to go out and buy a deadbolt/door knob/more padlocks tomorrow to practice on.

Very nice. Make those handles shorter and you're in business.

Hey me too... well French/English actualy. but I've spent 3 years in France.

Comment ca va mon pote?...

c'est geniale qu'il y a des francais ici... j'ai pense que j'etais seul

Si tu a besoign de quelle que chose n'oublie pas de me demander

the funniest thing is that as soon as I binned my azerty keyboard and bought a qwerty... suddenly French people crop up in this forum... lacking in accents in know... but hey!

nice to meet you man

[jordancpetit]

haha, thanks bro.

I'm going to make more picks probably later on today, I'll post the pictures once they are complete.

I look forward to seeing them... the only thing I would do to improve them is reduce handle length, and sand them to a mirrorlike finish...

[skold]

Oh no..the french are taking over the world

[illusion]

o noooo!!

it appears there are more and more xenophobes everywhere

[sivlogkart]

Some Latvians get a rough deal too!

[silent]

great picks for the second day or any day

I dont know why but I like the big handles, my "ultimate" half diamond I made is big enough that it goes over the back of my hand. It works the best for me.

Try the long handles on a few and short on a few to try it out.
