Sorry about the quality, camera is sh*t.
My first lockpick set. A homemade set made from hacksaw blades and allen keys. *Sniff* I broke my favourite tension wrench last night, which was made from a junior hacksaw blade. I was picking #2 on the practice board and it requires a lot of tension to turn the plug. *Sniff*
(Sorry about the pic, it's supposed to be a portrait shop, but I squashed it in Photoshop. I might fix it up and re-post it.)
My second lockpick set. Made from hobby knife (also known as exacto knives) handles and hacksaw blades. The good thing about these picks is that they require 1/10th of the normal blade size you would use for a pick (like the ones above) and hence 1/10th the work!!
This is my third lockpick set but my first professional lockpick set. The SouthOrd SO-C2010 22 piece set. 16 picks and 6 tension wrenches. It's beautiful..... *drools onto keyboard* Sorry....
And this is my practice board. It has 6 spots for cylinders and 6 spots for padlocks. It includes a variety of locks and is a great help when there's nothing to do! Practice, practice, practice!
Top: #1&2 are deadbolt cylinders, #3 is a knob lock, #4 is an EFCO 6 pin cylinder, #5 is a simple wafer lock.
Bottom: #1 is a Lockwood (unsure of which model), #2 is a generic, #3 is an el cheapo "Home Security" brand, but is tough to pick
#4 is a knockoff Master laminated padlock, #5 is a cheap 3 pin luggage/diary/locker lock that is too easy to pick.
Well, give me your opinions, comments and flames.... I can take it.
It takes me about 45 mins to an hour to make a pick from hacksaw blade to polished pick, and I usually spend about 6 - 8 hours a week in the garage (whenever I get a day off from work 
If it ain't broke.....pull it down and see how it works anyway!
