New Pick Material

Postby freakparade3 » 7 Mar 2007 23:14

OK, this may be wierd. I was taking out the trash tonight and something I'd never seen before was right on top. I asked my fiancee what it was. She said her bra broke and it was the underwire. I took it out and checked my templates. It already has the perfect arc, thickness, and width to make Falle curve picks. Just add a handle. I have never seen a reference to underwire bras here so I thought I'd share.

That's from a year and a half ago, but just wanted to let you know it was there :)

There have been more discussions about this than you would think but they always turn to the gutter and end up being trashed lol

Arent some of them bi-metal memory wires? that way you could accidentally sit on your pick or stand on it and a few mins in your pocket and it would back to its normnal shape 8)

The funny thing about this is that I was on the southern ordinance site today specifically to order their picks modeled after Falle hooks. I decided not to order them today, I'm glad I didn't spend the money, I have plenty of materials to make handles.

Oh awesome! Ok, so after I finish stocking up on windshield wiper blades at AutoZone I'll go down to Sears and try stock up on this new "wonder" material to fashion my own falle picks while trying not to attract attention. If anyone asks I'll just tell them I'm a crossdresser. That will probably raise less eye brows then saying I'm gonna make lockpicks out of them. :wink: :D

too easy

Postby djyaif » 13 Mar 2007 3:18

the best way to pick a lock,i mean faster and way easier is to crush the springs and put all the pins up the sheerline!i use a simple unfolded key holder to do that.it work pretty well but cause damage to springs so you will certainly not be able to use this lock again.also it just work on somes pin tumbler locks :wink:

Hes not come across quite so well and the description of the effects isnt quite right but i think he refers to comb picking,

It was pretty cool, I must say :P

yeah, i see this whole thing going over real well with any GF's.

you: hey honey, can i have a few of your, well, your bras?
her: what? why?
you: oh, no reason.
her: i want to break up.
you: oh no! please dont, i just wanted to rip apart that nice victorias secret wonder, lifting separating thingy space metal to make lockpicks!
her: i am filing a restraining order against you! you pervert!
you: <curls up into fetal position in closet crying>

end of story.

the other situation involves scavenging your neighbors trash for the next few months. thats gonna wind up about the same as situation one, except you will have that restraining order AND a popped testicle from someone kicking you for dumpster diving their trash.

hmmm. post pics though, id be interested to see how it turns out.
