DIY Lockpick Stand?

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.

Made this last Saturday. Used some scrap 3/4" cedar. Used a back saw and chisel to make a dado joint in the bottom board. Used the closest hole saw that I had for the cylinders. Drilled in the side with a #19 drill bit then screwed in stove bolts to hold the cylinders in place.

Should have made a place for profile cylinders, but did not think about it at the time.

Aww sh*t I should have probably posted in that thread. I saw the OP's title and thought it was fitting however it seems he is asking more about a cylinder stand. Nice work man I like the solid wood look.

An old picture, the rear board is gone as I streamlined my lock collection but I think you get the idea.

The handle on the one in the back is pretty genius. I almost missed it too. Very cool idea.
