[SsBloodY]

1. Well i bought what is needet but didnt want to buy too much saw blades because i am a beginer lockpicker nad beginer lockpick maker so you bought just 3 . My lockpicks templates are long 19CM and my blades are 31CM would it happen nice if iI cut the blade in 2 equal pices and make not but 6 tools.

2. This depend on the answer of the first

A couple of hooks and a diamond, then maybe some rakes.

[SsBloodY]

Thanks and the hook with a diamond on the end forgot it's name would it be useful? And about to first question ?

thats better

That's what I do to keep from wasting metal. I can easily get 3 picks out of 1 blade. That does of course depend on how big you like your handles.

Thank you from the three blades I will make 6 tools but wich tools will be best to make?
I think of small diamond medium diamond small hook medium hook medium hook with diamond on the end(still dont remeber it's name) and a snake.

Hope the names are wright. Well is this combination good?

[JackNco]

make a small diamond and a couple of hooks and see which you get on with best.
