Holy shit, solomon is posting. I know right.
So I was looking at pics of old picks in musems and shit, and thought "holy shit those are badass" and naturally I decided to make myself a set that looked all old and shit. Made a short hook, miniature half diamond, city rake and a straight pick with a thicker shaft for bypass. There's a good selection of wrenches, couple of warded picks and a dedicated wire + tension tool for disc detainers too
Pics are massive so click here to see the full kit and here for a close-up of the main picks.
And here's a pic of the half diamond with some others for scale... I made it extra small so it can tackle padlocks with annoyingly small keyways but it'll still pick pretty much anything a standard size diamond can. Never made a HD before, surprised how well it turned out.
Pics are taken with my phone cos my camera is fucked. Well, specifically the LCD screen is fucked. Can't take pics worth a shit, they just come out black or out of focus cos I can't see any of the friggin settings. Can still take video though so I'm thinking about doing a quick vid, hung over as auld fuck today but I'm considering it cos boredom.
