ok I've got a question about templates (yes I used the search function and yes I found them but...) can anyone recommend me the best template with the most styles on it because I want all my picks to look as if they came from the same set (no odd balls) all the same size and look. Why you may ask? Well I want them to look really professional once they are finished and I want them to all look the same. So can anyone recommend a template that has pretty much all the patterns on it. Thanks. I haven't tried to pick a lock yet with actual picks but I'm interested and making my own picks sounds enjoyable so I'm going to try that first before I start but I just want them to all look really good. Thanks for any replies.

I liked the new word that you've coined "Noobish"
I used a little from a number of sets and made them all simmilar size.

What is it you are looking for?
A little bit of everything, or are you looking for a small set?

well I just want to start by using a half diamond and a hook but at the same time I want to have a template of all the different types of picks just so they are all the same (matching set) for when I start to make all the other types.

sorry it was a joke not a serious question
" Truthiness is a satirical term by which a person claims to know something intuitively, instinctively, or "from the gut" without regard to evidence, logic, intellectual examination, or actual facts"

Look around the site for some of my templates, At least one of them covers a pretty complete set.
In a little while there is going to be a post covering a large number of templates, and all of them will be similar in size, and shape.
I really shouldn't post the silly things because I am trying to sell the picks, but hey I like to share, and I figure there are only so many people who will take the time to make them.

Romstar, you're selling picks? I didn't know that..if you have a website, you should point to it in your profile. What are you selling?

UWSDWF:
oh sorry I wasn't sure if you were joking or you actually didn't know but just to be on the safe side I assumed you didn't know what it meant.
Romstar:
Thanks for the info I really appreciate it and plan on making some on my next day off.
Everyone:
Thanks for all the comments and replies
