my first picks

[skellington]

hello, im new to lockpicking. i mean a complete noob. here are the pics that i made, sorry for the quality, but they look pretty bad nonetheless. now i can criticize myself all day, but i'd prefer to hear it from other people.



additionally: im sorry if i sound as though i have very low self esteem, im just not in a great mood

Turn the macro function on on your camera, it usually looks like a picture of a flower or a plant - its for taking close up pictures.

Other than that your picks look good to go for a first attempt. Im sure the next time around youll have even more success.

wow, i just realized i did'nt add any specifics. i found a bunch of templates on the internet, picked two, and worked a hacksaw blade into the shape that i saw, i didn't trace or anything of that sort, thats why im afraid that theyre terrible.

and people, dont be afraid to post, even if its just to say the picture looks terrible(ill try to get a better one up)

im sorry my camera doesn't seem to have that option. ill see if a family member has a better one.

thank you for the compliment

from what i can see from the pic the general shape looks right but you might wanna take some sandpaper to them.

i did, its just hard to sandpaper because of the wavy part, but for me the handle is clean enough. this is really just a practice set.
