one of a kind homemade jackknife with 14 picks

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.

, can't you just go to CVS or any other drug store and they are in plastic jars on the counter (right next to the eyeglass repair kits and fingernail clippers) to buy :) I think they are something like $0.59 buy a whole bunch!!!

Started Tubular

Postby Morpheus0101 » 15 Apr 2004 14:34

Cheers technik I am aware how the Tubular pick works what I meant was which material I'd use and method of construction, I've already made a start and shall post some pic's if it works.
salzi684 the case is a cheap nailfile thing that came in a small kit along with mirror scissors and such... As Absinthe said you can probably find one with some cheap makeup stuff, if not improvise there's always something you could use.
