Need a little help

[juice]

Well im completely green when it comes to lockpicking but I find it interesting and want to learn a little about it. First of all I read most of the MIT guide, my problem is making some decent tools, if anyone has a guide or anything similar I would definently appreciate any help you could provide for me.

Thanks in advance.

MIT Guide should tell how to make them, and it's the best I have seen on how to make a pick set. Best advice would be to order a set off of www.southord.com Just go cheap, in case you don't like it.

www.lockpicks.com is another site to check out as well.

Ok I got myself together and actually got that picked formed out quite nicely from a bicycle spoke, and I read somewhere the blade from a hack saw would do nice as a tension wrench, and I happened to have an old one lying around, but any advice on how to get this thing into the shape I want? Cuz I tried with the same file I used for the pick but im hardly making a scratch!

You will have to heat and bend it in order for it to work.

You might want to try filing it down too

Juice, I would have thought a hacksaw blade would be far to brittle as a tension wrench? I found a small allen key filed down is ideal, and these aint gunna snap easily. (you only need a small amount of torque, but my hacksaw blades are very very brittle - you dont wanna mess your lock up before ya pick it)
