engineering detail drawing for 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.

i scan my picks with a 1:1 ratio... so if you printed it out, it'd be to scale. would that be any use to anyone?

What kind of picks are they?

I thought they looked like SouthOrds, but the scanner must be showing them as black when they scan. It happens when you photocopy them as well. Spraypaint? What are you smoking GOON? :P

More Southord scans

I realise this is an ancient thread, but I figured it's better to add to this one than to start a new thread.

I put my brand-spanking-new C-1510 set through my flatbed scanner. I wanted to get a nice easy-to-see outline of the picks, so I scanned them against a black background (to eliminate shadows), then inverted and played around with the brightness/contrast, curves and sharpness until I saw something. I know they look ugly but the outline is pretty easy to see, trace our cut out. The ruler is obviously in cm.

(click the image for a 300dpi version)

As far as I can tell, the picks are as follows. The descriptions are from lockpickshop.com:
MSL-15 ("slim line lock pick 15")
MSL-14 ("slim line C rake 2")
MSL-13 ("slim line C rake")
MSL-10 ("slim line small diamond hook")
MSL-09 ("slim line short hook 3")
MSL-08 ("slim line medium hook")
MSL-07 ("slim line short hook 2")
MSL-06 ("slim line short hook")
MSL-04 ("slim line small diamond")
MSL-02 ("slim line single ball")
MSL-01 ("slim line L rake")

As an aside, many people (and lockpickshop.com) have said that the only difference between the C-1500 and the C-1510 is the handle type. If you look at the pictures of the sets, you'll see this is incorrect. The C-1500 has a double ball, large diamond and S rake, but is missing the single ball and two rakes.
