First try making Bogota rakes
Posted: Thu Jan 10, 2013 11:56 am
So i made 3 different ones, but only two are in the picture since i sold one to a friend before i thought to photograph them. I never was much of a rake person but i have to say, Bogota rakes are the best!
The bottom one is the second one i made and it works great! The one on the top is the third one i made and i made it according to the position of the pins in the lock. Each bump is where a pin is, so fully inserted, the first bump hits the first pin, second bump is on the third pin, and the third hump is on the fifth pin. This set up works so much better i found out. I can open all my lock so fast now It looks kinda like the top rake doesn't have the shaft long enough to rake locks that have 7 pins but because of the length of the humps it still fits great into 7 pin locks.
To make them i took windshield wiper inserts and ground them down with a dremel and sanded them with sandpaper up to 600.
