Tipene makes some amazing picks and that’s no exception! Stunning! I’ve seen some photos but to see the finish in video! Great to see them going to a loving home too 👍🏻🍺
Thanks for dropping by. I totally agree with you. He is one of the true artisans of pick design. I have been a HPC pick user all my life but i have to say that your pick design is a slick and user friendly product. It's a bit like industrial meets art. Hope that makes sense. Have a good one and all the best with your company:-)
Did you know the 80s and 90s Toyota locks sometimes use split wafers. I tore some locks from my old Hilux 4 runner and found split wafers in them which I thought was odd. Bloody sweet looking letter openers from Tipene mate 🤟😁 the cross grain looks bloody nice. Really does look like newspaper but can tell it's just the type of timber. The law lock tools pick is cool as well. They will both fit in well next to the Bentley 🍺🍺😁👍
Thanks Funkey. Yeah, you maybe on target with the split wafer. But from my journey it would have been the very late 80s and probably the commercial vehicle range. The passenger vehicle range weren't prevalent until the 90s with the advent of central locking and the side track type key. I think the ol' Coaster will be standard issue Toyota wafers. The ignition wafers will be slightly heavier but a bit of tinkering and the ol' girl should be ticking over nicely. Have a good one:-)
Awesome info again Paul. Tipene's pick is gorgeous. I was lucky to get one but leaving it for a video. They are priceless letter openers, lol. He's a champ and a gentleman. 😃✌
So Don, are you saying you haven't opened that Pick parcel I sent you around 14 months ago? (even off camera?)( So you've never seen the Pick? TBH it's been that long I can't even remember what it looked like.
Thanks Chris. I might have to put her on the line to crack the 5.56 second 1/4 mile from you. I have exhausted all the grunt i can to try but it looks like you will be the "Evers Bentley" 1/4 mile champion. lol.
Thanks heaps for all the information you are spot on with what you deducted. I will go to the locky you suggested and gratefully accept your help to sort out my ignition key. What a totally awesome pick. It is absolutely stunning. I have just received my first pick from law lock tools and can't wait to try it out. I really appreciate you doing a video to answer my questions. Cheers mate
Glad those finally arrived Paul. That has to be the longest trans Tasman journey since those young Aussies rowed across the pond a few years back. Both the Picks are made from 0.019" 301 High Yield Stainless so can be useful for narrower keyways. The Tipene Custom Pick is an Extended GEM Profile that I use for picking the full height of American 1100 keyways and a few of the tighter European lock keyways. The Law Lock Tools Bijou Medium Hook I've used successfully on "some" of the Lockwood Restricted keyways. A lot of these seem to be master keyed which helps. Stay safe mate, we went into full lock down at midnight.
@@two_tier_gary_rumain Yes I am a bit of a mixture. My Mother is Maori my Father was Swiss (I also hold Swiss Citizenship). So I'm a Maori ,Swiss New Zealander 😊
Thanks Tipene. If you would have known about the delay you could have asked the two rowers if they wouldn't mind dropping of your package on their return journey. lol. Might have been quicker. I can't thank you enough mate. If there's anything that you have on your bucket list that you maybe having trouble sourcing, let me know and if i can help in any way just give me a holla:-)
Great info about the ignition locks and very nice of you to help out a fellow locksporter in need. You are a gentleman. As for the Tipene picks😍😍 beautiful work on that custom pick! The other pick profile is in my regular rotation. Tipene's craftsmanship is amazing. I've admired his work since I started picking. Have a good one mate😀😂
Its funny i never really gave much thought to how often we insert and remove a car key and just how much wear it will cause on the key. that letter opener is a work of art
Thanks mate. Yeah, the poor old first wafer gets the brunt of the wear. The lazy bastard wafer at the end gets a free pass....must be far left liberal. lol. Have a good one mate:-)
Phenomenal pick from the pick master himself. Great thanks go to great people. You deserve it and much more. Thanks so much for sharing Cheers and Happy Pickin!
Good looking out bro for PW & really nice picks from Tipene. Enjoy my friend & glad that all is well with you & yours my friend, have a great week also.
Wow you're one of the lucky few who have a custom Tipene pick - very nice and beautiful pick! A totara tree is native to NZ. Hey so how is coronavirus affecting your business? ... are you still able to work?
How are you Swynndla. Yeah, lucky as to have been gifted the picks. I am pretty quite at the moment so it has had an impact. In saying that, i ain't too worried about the Kung Flu. I am still work active so we'll see what happens. Bogan immune system mate. I was allowed to play in the dirt when i was a kid so it maybe paying dividends. lol. Have a safe time:-)
@@crankylock7844 , Yeah I did that & even eat some mud pies before so I guess I'm good, plus all the dust at home that should have me covered my friend. LOL!!!! I hope at least. I think it's introduced thru bottled waters & or something like that, just so many ways they could get it started. Stay well & safe my friends.
@@crankylock7844 I was wondering if I'm fine thanks. :D Locksmiths were considered an essential service during a lockdown. Dont' underestimate this flu, as even if you catch it & aren't affected much, you could help spread it to others. We all need to work on our anti-social skills. :D Hopefully things go back to normal soon.
@@Swynndla Thanks mate. I don't underestimate anything. I have faith that all will be ok in the near future. There's something bigger behind this that will be revealed. Have a good one Swynndla and stay safe:-)
Once again great advice and explanation on how to fix the problem👍 Beautiful one off custom pick by Tipene, absolutely stunning👌 I believe the other one is the Lawlock Bijou designed by Tipene and is the profile I use 90% of the time. Have a great one Paul👍😀✌️ Oh link to Tipene's channel: ua-cam.com/channels/qfA7Gd9-8UNFJoOcNlY4xA.html
Wow, that pick that Tipene made is amazing, as is the Law Lock tools one. Happy days, definitely worth the wait. Have a great week.
Thanks Daz. Going to look good in the garage with the Bentley:-)

Wow, beautiful picks from Tipene, what a craftsman! The spot where those 2 woods meet is seamless! wow...
