Homebrew questions

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.

Okay, but you don't know how i pick locks. I would like to do it in a fast and brutal way (pushing and pulling the pick mindlessly). The brutal may be bad, some say, but it's the most comfortable way i know. I'm afraid that, when using hacksaw blades, the pick suddenly bend to the left and to the right with the slightest pressure (imagine pushing a straw [in a vertical manner]. When you reach a significant pressure, the straw bends)

Oh, BTW, how much does a hacksaw blade costs there, 5 cents ?

so what you're saying is you don't pick locks as much as just attack them with no skill or purpose... shite son drop the pick idea and just get a sledge hammer it'll give you the same result and take less skill seems more up your alley

I forgot to add this. What is the thickness of a hacksaw blade anyway. If it's approx. .25mm, will it be any stronger to glue two of them together making a strong thicker metal??

Well, actually i only do that to practice the brutal way. I mean, if you pick it slowly you will get a better result, right, but it takes time. Time is important to me. What kind of person takes 10-15 seconds picking a door, in public, with teachers and other students are looking at you. I think the slow and calm method is good only for home & entertainment purposes only. While the brutal way is the fastest (depending on luck) to do in public. You don't want to be caught picking a door in public, now do you?

you sir are the antithesis of this site and it's moral... you are a criminal a fool and deserve the full force of the law to come crashing down on you as hard as it can. WE DON'T PICK LOCKS WE RELY ON and we certainly DO NOT PICK LOCKS THAT ARE NOT OURS... we are not scumbag criminal bags of shite unlike some... in my opinion you are not a member of this community and will recieve no further help or favour by myself and hopefully the other site members now that we see you for what you are... a pathetic criminal child

Theres a big guy waiting for you in prison. The good news is he thinks you have a pretty mouth. The bad news is he's allergic to vaseline. Go away young criminal, we don't want you here. You are a boil on the butt of humanity.

Uh, you don't know what it's for huh? So i can't open a classroom using a lockpick and instead have to wait a full hour, sitting outside, having nothing to do, where it is warm/hot and humid (which is really annoying to me) before some finally opens the door, allowing us to finally do our homeworks. I'm pretty sure that's legal, i'm not sure it is legal in where you live. I mean look at the atate laws, in possesion of tools of "burglary". Oh right, so you can't open the locked school toilet and have to piss your pants because it's "illegal". Man the world is crazy. Why should you be worrying about me when there's thousands of criminal retards reading the threads on this site, making their own picks and stealing things from other peoples houses!

If they wanted you to have access they would have given you a key or not locked the door.

Ah, in UK it is, but what about Indonesia. It's a retarded country, they dont even know how a lockpick works, they don't even know what it is. Besides, it's probably legal, the state law has never been changed since 1945. I'm sure they don't have picks back then. :twisted: :twisted: :evil:

Breaking and entering is legal. Killing the people in it or stealing stuff from the house isn't. Learn the difference.

Well, the people who own and works the school are douchebags. The dont allow you in the classroom before you suffer. I think the other students would like it if i open the door, saving precious homework and relaxation time in a cold classroom.

I really don't know what is worse.

The fact that this guy is thinking about, or has commited such a worthless crime.

OR...

The fact he openly advertises it on a forum that has a big ethical foundation of not picking locks that are in use, or are not in yout possession.

Seriously - At what point in time did intelligent and cunning ciminals get replaced with... Morons? I can't think of any better way of describing a person who does not take any care to cover their backside.

I would have thought that breaking and entering is illegal in any country that has any concept of private ownership... That would include a fair few for sure - The ones with web access at any rate...

It's a retarded country, they dont even know how a lockpick works, they don't even know what it is. Besides, it's probably legal, the state law has never been changed since 1945. I'm sure they don't have picks back then.


Lock picks, in the sense that they are burglary tools did exist back then and much earlier. I'm pretty sure the law is applicable and relevant despite the fact it has not been changed in over 60 years...

It makes me sad when I read posts like this to think that somebody can waste their time so utterly - I mean surely you could invest this time spent causing trouble by studying, or if you have lots of time, getting a job?
