This text file was not made to be used to assist criminals
|
||
|
|
or want to be criminals. I am no way responsible for what
|
||
|
|
you do with these picks you create and the consequences
|
||
|
|
you might face.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
-----------------------------------------------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
OK first things first, here are some items you WILL need for
|
||
|
|
this project:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
-Grinder with fine grain wheel
|
||
|
|
-Carbon steel hack saw blades (other blades don't make the cut for strength)
|
||
|
|
-Metal coat hanger (no paint on it)
|
||
|
|
-Plastic cup
|
||
|
|
-Water
|
||
|
|
-Propane torch
|
||
|
|
-Two sets of needle nose pliers
|
||
|
|
-Safety Glasses (thats right, no one is getting hurt)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
OPTIONAL ITEMS
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
-Rotary tool with cutting disks
|
||
|
|
-Vice
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
-----------------------------------------------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
>STEP 1<
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Prepare your work area. Fill up your plastic cup with water
|
||
|
|
(you can use a regular class if you don't mind getting rust
|
||
|
|
stuck to the bottom of it). Place your cup of water near the
|
||
|
|
grinder for easy access. This will be used as a quencher
|
||
|
|
since metal heats up as you grind it. Also have your torch
|
||
|
|
ready for later on.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
>STEP 2<
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Take your carbon steel hack saw blade and snap it into 1/3s.
|
||
|
|
you should be able to make three picks out of one blade if
|
||
|
|
you don't mess up. Also before you move on to the next step
|
||
|
|
decide what types of picks you want to make. Google some shapes.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
>Step 3<
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
start grinding your 1/3 of a hack saw blade leaving about
|
||
|
|
an inch or maybe little less for a handle. REMEMBER IF YOU
|
||
|
|
START FEELING A LITTLE BIT OF HEAT QUENCH THE BLADE IN YOUR
|
||
|
|
CUP OF WATER OR YOU COULD GET BURNED VERY BAD.
|
||
|
|
You should grind it down to around 1/8 of an inch but leave
|
||
|
|
a little more on near the end so you can turn it into what
|
||
|
|
ever you want. You can also use a rotary tool if you feel
|
||
|
|
confident. But use a vice with a rotary tool. But leave the
|
||
|
|
blade teeth, you never know when you might need them.
|
||
|
|
DON'T FORGET TO QUENCH!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
||
|
|
Now that you have some picks, you need a tension wrench or
|
||
|
|
torque tool, what ever you want to call it. I have tried
|
||
|
|
making them out of hack saw blades and they all got warped
|
||
|
|
from pressure or just snapped off. My friend snapped his
|
||
|
|
off in a lock. After many experiments I recently found
|
||
|
|
something that works. This is where the coat hanger comes
|
||
|
|
in.
|
||
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
>Step 4<
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Take an intact coat hanger and cut of the hoop before the twists.
|
||
|
|
Bend the hoop until it is striaght with out using or using the
|
||
|
|
torch. Now light the torch and take the two pliers and bend the
|
||
|
|
piece of the coat hanger into a L shape, have the bottom part of
|
||
|
|
the L be 3/4 of an inch to an inch. Quench immediatly after bending
|
||
|
|
to the L. OR you could use a flat head screw driver and follow step 5.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
>Step 5<
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Barely grind down the bottom of the L so it barely fits in a lock, you
|
||
|
|
want it nice and snug.
|
||
|
|
----------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
P.S. With the coat hanger tension wrench if the handle twists or bends
|
||
|
|
it can be easily be bent back in shape.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Don't forget to experiment with making custom picks and tension wrenchs.
