Hi all,
Its not 1:1 but it has a rule on so you can figure it out. If you want 1:1, I could properly do it but im not to good with photo editing etc.
Enjoy.

Do you have a scanner? If so, scan them at 300 dpi and let everyone know they were scanned at that dpi. When we print, we can select the dpi and have a perfect scale model of the picks.
For the best book out there on high security locks and their operation, take a look at amazon.com for High-Security Mechanical Locks An Encyclopedic Reference. Written by our very own site member Greyman! A true 5 Star read!!

I gotta tell ya, making these picks at home with a file or grinder might drive me crazy. Corner, angle, length, corner, angle, corner, length, angle.... or make me blind.

I brought your majestic22.jpg into Photoshop and increased to print output to 241%. Seems to be scaled correct with that increase in size when printing out.

Well, seeing as how it was in centimeters originally and you printed in inches, and the ratio of cm to inch is 1:2.54 then it would be right around perfect if we americans blew it up to 254%.
