the cylinder removed, showing the lil sidebar locking thing that hold's in place, far different from the other kwikset i have that has the two prongs which is only 5pin compared to this which is 6, along with it's deadbolt buddy. thankfully the pins are all the same so i got a good bit of play in repining the deadbolt and this knob lock =D yay!

You dont need to be a dick about it. Hes trying and they are a start. Lots of people start with picks like that. Good start wolf hope to see more picks made from you. You should put a bit more time into them next time and work on the finish a bit more but you have a good starting point.

[wolfie]

thanks steve, =) i kinda just blew these out so i could have something to pick with, soon as i get some new blades imma be makin some pics based offa romstar's template =)

hey bro.
those picks have nice shape.
you should sand a bit more so they look b-e-a-utiful
and work a bit better

[wolfie]

thanks, i've already sanded them down a bit =3 they worked quite well unsanded though =D

Sanding will help your feedback. As a good friend once explained it "Picking with unsanded tools is like having a whispered conversation in a crowded room."

Smooth picks increase clarity of sensation.

And I was certain it was "picking with unsanded tools is like having sex without foreplay: the tool is goes in'n'out, but the lock groans in pain"
