i got bored :D

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.

hey hey, just a quick post to show you all my latest work.
took me just under half an hour to construct with a file and a vice. It's actually made out of a junior hacksaw blade (im trying this instead of a full hacksaw because its smaller )

the end is a half diamond, but with steeper sides as i like to single pick rather than rake

as soon as it was done i took it straight to my favourite padlock, as usual, no problems, then took it to an old front door lock that takes me a few mins normally, but as usual, no dramas, it opened up quite nice

amzing what you can achieve in less than an hour.

It looks like a small hook to me, and onsidering it being made out a junior, it might be a little brittle. Nice work though! Keep it up!
