Home Brew dimple picks ...

[mackai]

H,i I'm looking for profiles/dimension/suggestion for dimple picks. I see a lot of profiles for standard picks but I haven't seen anything for dimple. I made some "quick pick' handles from Bosnian Bills videos and have made a couple picks to try out the techniques. Now I'm ready to start making some actual picks for the handles. I'm just looking for a basic set to start with and then I can start making/modifying what I think I need based on what I run into ..... Thanks

Look at Femurat's picks. They work great.

Thanks Gordon

mackai, for dimple locks I make half diamonds with a thin shaft and a steep tip. You can thin down the shaft of a standard half diamond if you want to save some time.
Slide the tip under a pin and rotate the handle to lift it.

mackai,
I'm just wondering what dimple picks you are running into in your part of the US, or are you buying European dimple picking practice locks on places like ebay?

Thanks
