As far as strength and durability I prefer feeler gauges over anything else I have used

The US law for non mailability of picks and such is for the USPS only. UPS, FedEx etc are still legal shipping options

I'm not sure if thats right; simply because I'm pretty sure I get my SouthOrd packages from UPS.

....but I could be wrong. I haven't ordered from them in a long time.

Well then maybe there laws have changed or rules. I'm not really sure why one woulden't ship them but the other would?

here is my home made jackknife set. its not as pretty as lockpickroy's but it will be that way some day

nice job did u just use the gauges that where on there to make the picks?

by **Kung** » 14 Mar 2004 20:54

Yeah i went out and piad 3 bucks for a feeler guage and i just started grinding i was suprised how well it came out im going to make more and sell to my friends

by **Dukemurmur** » 14 Mar 2004 21:38

good deal man. Nice work!

by **Chucklz** » 14 Mar 2004 22:14

Very nice indeed. Try using 100 grit sandpaper to polish/clean up your work and your set will look amazing.

Where did you get the feeler gauge, would an Ace Hardware most likely have one? Also im curious, what is feeler gauge actually used for, besides making great picksets

? Lastly, how did you grind them, do you have a access to a grinder and has anybody here used a dremel to make homemade picks?

by **UnLock** » 15 Mar 2004 0:05

Yes, very nice job. Tomorrow I'll go to Canadian Tire and pick one up and try my hand at making myself one. Now I get to play with my new grinder...yipee!

Almost any auto supply store should have feeler guages i have made 3 more jackknifes and each one better then the last

Kung,

What do you use to keep the pick from folding back into the case? On Lockpickroy's I notice he has a screw to tighten it down.

by **Kung** » 15 Mar 2004 20:11

well i bet his is the same as mine but he got the one with more guages, and the rivit keeps them all firm enough so they dont fall back in. they kinda open like a flip knife too

by **UnLock** » 15 Mar 2004 20:18

If you look at his carefully, you'll notice where the rivet is suppose to be there's a thumb wheel screw. You could easily incorporate something similar into yours. This way you can loosen the screw, swing a pick around, and re-tighten the screw. This way when you pick a lock, you don't have to worry about the pick moving on you. I was going to buy a guage today but never had the chance to so. I'll get one tomorrow and try to make it with a tightening screw/bolt.
