Lock pick design on a dime!

[Ethereal]

I need a cheap and easy way to obtain some lockpicks, anything will work, if you tell me hairpins, i will do it, but I am a little short on the cash front and well...... i dont exactly have a credit card to buy a set online either.

make them yourself from e.g. hacksaw blades. use the search

You could use Paypal to buy picks online and they are generally cheap too.

When I was first getting started in the lockpicking game, I stumbled across this site and a few really nifty templates that print out to scale picks. I've tried finding them again, but this hasn't worked. If you want, I could email em to you. Maybe I'll post a file of em so noobies like I was can have easy accesse to it ^^, if I do though, I would like to find out who originally did the templates so I can give them full credit, and maybe even thank em =\

Search for the MIT lockpicking guide. The appendix has some nice ideas. I made my first pick and wrench each from 8-penny nails. They are cheap. You can probably get brickstrap for free.
