first pick tell me what you think

When it comes down to it there is nothing better than manual tools for your Lock pick Set, whether they be retail, homebrew, macgyver style. DIY'ers look here.

this is my first lock pick that I made and I recently got some heat shrink tubing so I decided to make a handle and it turned out great, at least I think so.. :)

Looks like an effective hook, is that wiper insert?

your camera skills need work, try using sunlight and no flash or just not putting the piece on a shiny background.

:D
Wake up and smell the Kafka!!!

Well... the pick seems a pick, but it's too small for telling you more. Have you tried to shoot a close up picture in macro mode? It's the little flower icon on your camera menu.

Cheers :)

Alright man! They're coming along and looking better. How do you like the heat shrink tubing and where did you get it?

I actually bought the heat shrink off of dealextreme.com it came in an assorted pack of 5, 1 meter long pieces and it cost 1.97 and free shipping . and as for my camera skills it isn't that I don't have any camera skills it's that I didn't have a camera available to me at the time.

Looks like it's the right shape and well crafted. Awesome job I'd say!
If a lock is a puzzle, then its key is the complete picture
