My Homemade Picks

Hello everybody, I'm Daniel from Argentina, I'm 14 years old and I began to practice sport lockpicking about 6 months.
I recently started with Mortice Locks. These are my picks.

Hacksaw blades and knives

That's pretty awsome, I see you have allot of rakes and very few hooks though. Just a tip: Hooks are awsome! :)

Youve put a lot of work into those, but don't they sell metalworkers sandpaper near you, the picks could use a bit of finish from the look of the photography. Did you use sculpy or some kind of art material for those fancy handles that appear to follow ratyokes pattern?
Wake up and smell the Kafka!!!

For the handles I use ice cream sticks.

A USB Stick?
How are you going to use that to open lever locks?
Does it contain some kind of secret compartment or something? :D
