they're around, there's a thread on falle picks with template active at the moment, for example.

Try to dig in the Lockpicks - Manual threads.

Yours,

Jordy

Every so often I have to post this thing, so here it is again.

Set your printer to print the image out to 5x6 inches and they will be the proper size. The picks should measure 4.75 inch at full size.

The Falles are great, but maybe not for a newbie.
Napi - if you use Romstar's template make the 5th and 7th picks first (and I'd make the hook a little shorter.) Then for a rake give 9 or 10 a try, or better yet make a Bogata rake. Extensive instruction for Bogatas are available via search.

Gordon is right by the way. Make the hook just a bit shorter.

The reason they are drawn the way they are is so that you can adjust them for different sizes. You will see that the radius is the big difference in the two hook picks. From there just grind for height.
