Can anyone make Bogotas

[Bluenkight]

Can anyone make bogotas in the usa. Raimundo said he no longer makes them. I would love to try them. I tried and failed in making some

Not sure of anyone that sells them anymore. You could always buy some street sweeper bristles from squelchtone and make your own!

Then use the search button to find the tutorial on making them.

That's what I did... i made a pick and failed. although the pick worked on a small lock I had trouble with using normal picks.. guess it wasnt a complete loss..

If you really want you can PM me and we can work something out.

[Jburgett2nd]

A learning experience is never a loss!

If it was your first attempt at making a pick, keep trying. The process smooths out after you're used to it. You can make picks much thinner than you'd expect, too, and they'll still retain their strength (wiper blade and street sweeper stock, anyway).

Southord has a Bogotas that they named Pagoda.

You may need to smooth out the edges after you get them.

They are not as good as the Bogotas but with some hand work you can get there.

You can get a set from serepick. They have official copies and used to sell Raimundo's handmade picks, back when he made them. I usually take the Executive set when travelling.

If someone took up making the bogatas, particularly the rarer ones like sabana. EG:

I would be willing to pay accordingly. A LOT if they were titanium.

What would you think about some made from non magnetic inconel super alloy?

They have other Bogota styles in titanium as well. I think they even make a 6-piece Bogota set with several styles included in one set, although I'm not sure if that one is on the website yet or not.

Without pics it's hard to tell what isn't working, but I've made two that have been really successful. I've found smooth curves are good, and they work best after you've polished the surface that the pins ride on to a mirror finish.

No kidding, the closer you can get that surface to glass, the better those picks will work.

Good luck!
