This is a great deep dive into the handles. I always wondered about what the difference it was between the handles besides thickness that made for a good pick handle. Thanks for this video, cheers
thank you so much for this video. It's very interesting seeing all the picks you made and extremely informative! Btw, Is there something wrong with using a drill vs. a hole punch on the pick metal itself?
I have plenty of leftover to work with. It's just a matter of taking the time to do them again. But, yes, I hope to finish a whole set in aluminum bronze. You were right, it definitely lasts and looks great!
I have been wanting to make a reusable handle for a sparrow euro short hook (one of my favorite picks) for the longest time, I was always just going to make it from G-10 or micarta, but watching this changed my mind. Would you be willing to point me in a direction, where I could find the quarter of inch aluminum like the stuff you recommend in the video?
@@LockpickingDev Sorry to be a pain, but I wanted to get the materials, I found aluminum bar 1/8 thick x half inch wide, and 2 feet long (would that be the correct size to start with?)
@@LockpickingDev thank you brother !! I'll order it, and have it ready for your video 👍🏻👍🏻 you wouldn't know what size Chicago screw to order off hand 🥺
Great information and video. Can't wait to see the video on how you make the metal handles.
You did a really good job on this! This great information!
That's some beautiful tools you have there!
Thank you!
Very, very interesting video 👍👍👍👍👍👍💯🔥🔥🔥
I take it to my library of videos 😊
Nice. Very nice.
Have a Great Weekend 😊
Glad you enjoyed. Hapoy picking!

Thanks PW! Hope you are doing well!

Nothing wrong with one or the other. Just depends on preference. I find a hole punch really easy for the hard steels
Awesome video with some great information!! Is there a video of the metal handles that you made?
My next video will show how I made those interchangeable handles by hand 😁
@@LockpickingDev thank you!
Glad you like the aluminum bronze. Any plans to thin down the scales that are too fat for your liking?

McMaster Carr website for the metal bars. My next video is on making interchangeable handles, maybe it will help make things easier 😁
@@LockpickingDevTHANK YOU. Looking forward to seeing the next video 🤜💥🤛
