Poor man’s microscope for QC and inspection. ~ 15x to 20x magnification by raising phone 4” for optimum optical resolutions.3yr ⋅ iPick4Fun ⋅ r/lockpicking
Made from hacksaw blades (high carbon steel .022”) these are my favorite profiles.3yr ⋅ iPick4Fun ⋅ r/lockpicking
Make them more accurately with this method. Much better than gluing paper onto blanks. Made slightly different diamond tips to try them out. (Material = hacksaw blades .018 & .022)3yr ⋅ iPick4Fun ⋅ r/lockpicking
100% homebrew from Hacksaw blades (except 2 from feeler gauges). I re-use the case, tension tools, and the very special red handles from this set. The picks came with the set got evicted. LOL.3yr ⋅ iPick4Fun ⋅ r/lockpicking
Does top pick have bad profile? I have no template. Copy middle one and extend tip. Need some really deep pick for YALE keyway.2yr ⋅ iPick4Fun ⋅ r/lockpicking
Key making for CLs (Simplified to reduce work). Is this OK to eliminate unnecessary peaks? Trying to map the key on spreadsheet graph before cutting.3yr ⋅ iPick4Fun ⋅ r/lockpicking
My order came in - Partially. Dimple lock and DD lock didn’t make the shipment. Mortise are all key alike with crappy bitting. But they are meant to be change anyways. 83/45 was putting up a bit of resistance on blind pick - Yale keyway.2yr ⋅ iPick4Fun ⋅ r/lockpicking
Struggling with TOK going vertical. Other 3 tensioning methods, I can drop to 0 tension. Last one I am struggling. Dropped tension bar a lot or it pops out of keyway. What's the proper way of holding it? Lock is re-pinned to 6 security pins.3yr ⋅ iPick4Fun ⋅ r/lockpicking
