just today i made a really weak small set of picks. i watched a video from that pyro guy on how to make picks during the summer. and so far i have a tension wrench(hasn't be twisted yet!) ( i like to call them torque bars) a hook, and a very thin and small hook that barely hooks, i am planning to use to scope out pins to figure out which kind of pick will be needed. theres just 1 problem i have like no picks. i was just wandering if anyone had an old or spare set that they could give to me or lend to me. (it's ok if u don't) but don't take just one look at this and just go and look at somethin else. just tell me if u don't or if u do. PLEASE!!!!! (also i have no expierence pickin' locks so any help u could give me would be GREAT!!!!

There are templates online.

Just download a template, print it out, and stick to your metal. Then you have a outline to grind to.....
Here is my first set, this is all you need, make lots of different torsion tools though. Yo can never have enough.
