Yup i have modded them since, clearing up some size and shape issues up, they are heat shrinked just for a little grip at the back and front, not very pretty but do the trick.
The finish in the picutres are horrible, i jsut used them a bunch and had the camera and snaped some shots they are really nice looking though.
The tangs are superglued in betweent he metal handels, then i used hot glue to fill them in like window caulking, then a sharp hobby knife to shave off excessive glue. It seem a bit homebrew and is, i dont have a spot welder, but considering, it works great the glue seems to give great feedback since its not just a complete blob of metal.
Yea the correct phrase for the picks should be, lock picking tools with a hybrid shaped tang, and an incorporated fulcrum to allow pivoting so that the tang doesn't touch the warding, only the pivot point or fulcrum.
I am making a blue print of them and having a metal company photo chemical etch them, or just simple hydraulic press to sell on varjeals site, as i dont have time to make the picks, also my skills are not nearly near Ray's par (no arse kissing) just stating the truth.
So hopefully with in a few months or possibly weeks depending on how fast i can get the blue prints done adn the company can complete them, the picks will be for sale and.. how do i put this?
This may be wrong but, Commercial grade? Basically every picks the same, the disigns are more perfected by computerized machines and as far as material consistancy and such and such.
So thats really the break down of the the change in plans.
Once again thanks to Shrub and Omnikron and also ray for advise, and Varjeal for allowing me to sell my picks on his soon to be redone site.
I will post when there avaiable, may be in 5 weeks or 5 months couldn't tell you. Appreciate the kind words and interest. If you have any questions on how i did any of the picks just ask and i will answere.
