I just ordered 10 Hacksaw blades for $14.50. Only reason it's $14.50 is due to shipping. The blades ran me $9.27, and shipping ran me $5.23. I got them on Amazon using a $15 gift certificate I earned on a website.

Here's what I got.

Also, on a side note. Where are some good templates that I don't have to register on different sites for? It kinda bugs me to signup and register places just for stupid little things like that.

Edit: Never mind. I found a bunch. I'm gunna go host them and post them up for ya'll.

Good luck! Try making at least one pick without using any templates. Just come up with something in your head; be creative. My most effective picks were made this way so I don't even use templates at all.

Yeah, I've got a couple of designs in my head.

Like, I wanna make one with two half diamonds on one side and on the other side a single half diamond. Hopefully it'll look at preform well, I figure if I do make that one, it'll cover two avenues for me.

I also want to make a pretty extreme rake. Hopefully that one works out too, because the design in my head is seriously crazy.

Edit:

Wow I'm a tard. The Diamond one wouldn't be three half diamonds, it's be one full diamond and a half.

I was on the crapper when it hit me.

Well, not necessarily. You could have two half diamonds on one side with a half diamond on the other that rests in between the two half diamonds. That could certainly be a cool design. Good luck and post results!

And one more thing, you know you're thinking about lockpicking too much when you think about pick designs on the crapper!

Lol, yeah, I agree with the comment about thinking too much.

Like, what I was talking about first was two half diamonds on one side, then under the first half diamond, do another, which, when I thought about it more, would result in more then a half diamond.

But yeah, then I thought about your idea and kinda redeemed myself in my own mind, but I dunno.

moose. In google images look up romestar pick templates. He's has made some awesome temps.

Romstar templates are in the pick templates section as well... I particularly like the progressive templates Romstar posted himself in that section.

Making your picks by eye is great, but only if you have a good idea of how you want it to end up, and an eye for the right width near the head... I personally don't feel I am ready, as even with templates I can make them too thin... I see a tiny bump, try and grind it off... long story short it WAS fine (maybe needing a little filing) and in the end it's so thin that the neck just bends like crazy. :roll:
