Basic Lock Pick Making Tutorial from Woofcat & PYRO1234321

[HallisChalmers]

Ok guys and gals, with permission from Woofact & PYRO1234321, I have linked to a pretty good tutorial on making picks. I linked to it before in another post, but I thought this would also be a good place for it, as it may get more exposure.

Listen, watch and learn.

Hallis,

THANK YOU! so much for posting this video, I saw it about a year ago, and for the life of me haven't been able to find it since.

I do love that video and I so wish I had a bench grinder, I'd be making picks all day long!

Y'all know, if you wanna be a bit more hardcore, little less safe, and get sparks thrown in your face (all because you can't afford to go to Harbor Freight and buy a $35 bench grinder b/c your wife says the baby comes first)... err.. Use an angle grinder with a cut-off wheel, like one of the the 3" or 4" angle grinders. It makes life a little harder, b/c you have to hold the grinder in one hand, and the hacksaw blade in the other hand, but it's doable, granted, you usually spend more time with a file cleaning up, but still quicker thank all by hand.
