Cutting picks with only a dremel.

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.

I finished my half diamond, it's pretty much perfect.

I can't wait till you release your tutorial, I really want that mirror shine.

Nice job there Headshot.

It looks almost as accurately made as a punched commercial one. :D

Well done mate.

Upon further inspection your picks look quite accurate to the templates, good job! I think I was being over critical in my previous post (that's me :oops:.)
Anyways my guide is up if you still want to check it out.

Just so you know how picks can turn out when using only a dremel tool and sandpaper, I actually got motivated to post a picture of the ones I kicked out here -

I don't think I did too bad, given that about the only dremel experience I had was cutting holes in computer cases...
