I appreciate the handmade look of things myself, I enjoy the little 'imperfections' in crafted items... so that means a great deal to me.

And great choice of picks! That's quite an arsenal in that box. Really, there's not many locks that could withstand that selection

Ya, those are my go to 3 and what I suggest to anyone just looking to get into picking.

I did make these with the intent to sell, but have a serious problem with not seeing the 'value' in what I make it feels strange trying to put a number on them... however start to finish picks to handles to the custom box and the little bit of finishing left, there is about 22 hours in there. My initial thought was $120 for the whole kit (which seems high to me, but is like slave labor when I look at the hours invested) + shipping (because we don't have those beautiful flat rate boxes in Canada

)
I do also make ergonomic plastic handled picks as well which are less labor intensive, consequently less expensive. And I'm working on an aluminum model too.
