My homemade picks

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.

My homemade picks

Hopefully these links work...

The tension wrenches are made from wiper inserts.
The picks are made of 301 or 1.4310 stainless spring steel.

Congratulations, I'm impressed by the quality of your picks. You designed and finished the picks very well. It's clear you already know how to work with metal and tools.

Now try and make a nice half diamond and you're all set.

Cheers :)
