New template set

When it comes down to it there is nothing better than manual tools for your Lock pick Set, whether they be retail, homebrew, macgyver style. DIY'ers look here.

New template set

Postby Romstar » 11 Dec 2006 3:52

This is a new template set that I put together. I thought some of you might like it.

I'm open to any ideas, suggestions or comments that may improve the templates. I have others in the works as well.

I like the name.

How about more hooks or a slim line set with deep reach?

There is a progressive hook and diamond set being layed out now. No rakes, no balls, just diamonds, lifters and hooks.

Is that meaning that you would make a set of those for us??? I mostly just want the king and queen picks, and maybe the progressive hooks, let me know if you ever want to make some for money, thanks,

Very nice pick selection in your set. I really like your King and Queen ideas as a mini 'computer generated' style pick. Other than the aforementioned deep hooks and diamonds, the only thing I would like to see in a production set would be some nice tension tools with a tapered end so they would fit a greater range of keyways per tool.

Again, very nice. Great job! :D

Sooner or later (given my funds: probably later), i'd CERTAINLY make an order for those picks.

Good job there, Romstar.

Yours,
Jordy

That's just gorgeous. I need to dust off my grinder and start attempting some of these things.

Since it is difficult to make templates for other tension wrenches, they simply aren't included.

However, a set similar to what you mentioned will be available. Its very possible this particular set will have at least two stepped tension tools. The rest of the wrench set would be seperate, or included in a larger set later.

Oops, sorry about that. I keep forgetting to add that because I try to make all of hte picks the same size.

There is a new set of templates though that will have dimensions, because they are not my standard 4.75" length.

The image file is exactly 5 inches wide by 6 inches tall at 300 DPI.

When printed, the picks should measure 4 & 3/4 inches from end to end.
