Some Picks I made along with wooden cases!

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.

Nice looking picks and case! What material did you make the picks from?

I use electricians fishing line from Klein Tools and often material from garden rakes and bar b q skewers all the way to antique knives and spoons!

Those are real nice looking. I'm digging the long slender look, it's what I imagined lock picks looked like before I got interested enough to look online for some.
It's stuff like this that inspired me to buy a belt sander yesterday, and I've been sniping various woods off of eBay for the last two weeks.

thanks, I like the slender look also. I purchased a Peterson Gem recently and its nice and great quality but I still prefer some of my own. Now if only I had a laser cutter plotter thingy.

My first batch was a lot of knife/pistol grip blanks with 2 pairs of Wenge, Bocote, Padauk and Canarywood. I got it mainly for the padauk, and wenge. the bocote is interesting too. The rest I've gotten have been acrylic dyed maple and a pair of spalted alder.

I haven't done much wood working in the past, more metal fab stuff.

They are looking beautiful.

I don't see picks with that long handles much often. Do they have any benefits because of it?
