Making Euro Picks

Postby SadisticPsycopath » 18 May 2010 13:29

Okay. Quick question. You might call me a noob, but we all start somewhere eh?

I live in the UK. Meaning it could be said I am European (I prefer British). So. I was wondering, if I make my own picks from a template, do I just flip the template? Or does it not actually matter?

I'm not bothered with handles. I haven't got the skill to make them anyway :( .
And God said "Let there be light!", but the program crashed because he was trying to access the NULL value of a universe pointer.

This thread is simply epic. Words nor photos can express the epicness of this thread.

But to honestly answer you..

Do not flip the templates. Just flip the tools when you go to use them. :wink:

You may want to shrink some of the templates down, as some euro locks are a bit smaller than US locks.


Hope this helps. :)

Flipping the tool doesn't work. The fat end won't go into the lock, and the skinny bit is uncomfortable to hold :(

I find this humourous.
