I DID IT!

[Vandemir]

I just picklocked my 1st lock!!!! its a Tri-circle 263 using paper clips and 2 hairclips.I started today and it took me about 45 minutes to figure it out but using LP101 guides in found the way.

God im happy and ill keep up the hard work but 1st,i have to practise even more!!

I highly suggest getting real picks(store bought or homebrew).... makes the whole process alot easier

[Vandemir]

Im going to check it out m8.I live in Greece so i doubt they sell picks.Now about homebrew,i saw the whole process and im sure i cant do all that.But ill try and get some picks someway

lockpickshop.com sells pretty intnl. lp101 gets you 10% off in the discount code.....

hand files and hacksaw blades..... homebrew easy dude

[Vandemir]

i saw that video were that person brinds it,burns it and stuff,thats the thing i cant do.If there is easier,ill be more than happy to make some.I have some tools in order to bend stuff etc

[UWSDWF]

look at the directions to make bogotas there is a sticky for it all by hand no power tools required....

seriously though hacksaw blades, a grinder or hand files is not that hard to aqquire but i do reitirate LPS will ship to you

[Vandemir]

i checked it out before,looks good but didnt quite get some points: at some points he says to "cut to lenght" meaning to cut the saw as shown in the picture and how?

And why do we need the small heating source ?

Your getting mixed up between two guides here,

If you dont have or dont want to do the grinder/hacksaw thing ignore the video you have seen,

Look for a thread on Raimondos bogotas and specifically look for the pdf on how to make them and the pictures at the end of the thread, you need only a file or two and some good sanding skills,
