Thinking out side the box and utilising the small drill as a handle proves to do the job other pick designs possible one handle. Abus just getting his CZcams channel launched. well done
Thanks brother 🙏
I'll let you know when Abus gets it up, and running lol. All the best to you, and yours my friend 👍 Have a great weekend!
That finished flag looks great, and I love the handles. Thanks for sharing!

Nice Idea and you've done a good job on those picks. Many thanks for showing us this.
I really, really appreciate your kind comment, thank you very much. Hope you have a great weekend!😁👍🏻
Again, another project I want to do!!! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks fir checking it out brother.
Have a great weekend my friend 🤜🤛
Great pick you have made. Really appreciate you showing your process. Thanks for this video, cheers
Thanks for the awesome feedback PW It's always a pleasure to hear from you!! Have a wonderful rest of your weekend my friend 😁👍🏻
Always with the simple, accessible ideas that anyone can do themselves! Thanks for this-I'll have to try it!!
Thanks brother. I really appreciate it. I hope it helps you, like it did Tinnie and myself. Have a good rest of your week my friend 👍
@@RookKnight I've just started progressive pinning my first real dimple lock-so this is perfect timing!!
Awesome brother 👍👍
Fantastic as usual. I have several kits of dimple picks including Multi Picks and I think yours are far better than any of them. Great job. 👍🦊
Thank you my friend!
Hope you're enjoying your weekend
All the best to you, and yours bro👍🏻👍🏻
Very nice! Going to try this. Good friends with Lady Locks
Thank you hopefully it's useful for you as it has veen for me. Heres a link to a vise I use. Yost Tools Yost V-275 Portable Vacuum Base Vise, Pivots Multi-Angle, 2.75” Jaw Width, (1 Pack), Silver a.co/d/aQBaUtD I have beaten this up for a few years and it still is holding up.
Thanks you. Very nice kitteh.
Thanks, Much appreciated 👍🏻 🐈
Have started making my own picks, but had no idea on making flags. Thanks again!
Very glad to hear this video might have been helpful. I should mention there are other way to go about making flags. One that comes to mind is to use those injector pins, and grind, and file them down. It takes a lot longer to make one, but they can look incredible once finished. I believe NigBee has a video on the process of making ejector pins into flags. It might interest you. Good luck on your pick making 👍👍👍
Very nice 🙂👌
Thanks for sharing this mate 😁👍
Thanks, and thank you for checking it out brother. Have a good one 👍🏻
Cool tutorial. I will try it. Also, Starrett makes, or did make really good pin vices that could hold those pick tips quite easily.
Thank you, I appreciate the tip. I will check out that brand of pin vice. Have a good one🤜💥🤛
Really, really good. I can't afford to buy dimple picks and I was thinking of making some, but hadn't worked out how. So this video is EXCELLENT 😃 Thank You RK 👍🙏🏻❤️
Thank you so much for the awesome comment brother! Very glad to hear this could be helpful. Have a great weekend my friend 🤜🤛
Wonderful how to video!!!
Great tips! Hi Abus 🐈🐾🐈⬛🐾 👏👏👏🐝
Thanks brother 🐾
Have a wonderful weekend my friend 😁👍🏻
Glad to see you feeling better.
Great video! Thanks
🙏 thank you 🙏
Really good video, thanks.
Also, Abus looks awesome 🐾
Thanks man, I really appreciate your kindness. Have a great rest of your day 🤜🤛
@@RookKnight you too buddy 😁🔒
Good way to make tool's.
Excellent result 👍🔓🏆🌐
Good Luck 👍
Thank you so much 🙏
Been making some from ejector pins but will give this a try.
Hope they work out for you, as they did for me. Have a good one 🐧
Nice project. Little appearance from Abus there 😺
Thank you, it's not exactly pretty, but it works (I mean the pick, not Abus Lol) Have a good rest of your week 👍
Nice job my friend
Thank you my friend!
Hope you are well brother
Have a good week ahead 👍🏻
wow awesome job! hello Abus!
Thanks Dana!!!
Abus says to say, hello right back at you 😁👍🏻
Hey this is a good idea! Thanks for sharing. Now, this might sound like a stupid question, but where can I find piano wire and those drill bit handles?
Thanks brother. Thats not a stupid question at all. For the hand drills, The easiest and fastest shipping, but more expensive, would be Amazon. The cheaper, but longer shipping wait, would be websites like temu, banggood etc. As for the wire, I found a good mix of sizes on Amazon, (its not exactly piano wire) but it is good stuff. Heres a link if you're interested BBYPP 131Pcs 40cm Lengh Straight Steeless Steel Spring Wire Assortment Kit, 13 Different Full Hard Steel Wire Diameter 0.2mm 0.3mm 0.4mm 0.5mm 0.6mm 0.8mm 1mm 1.2mm 1.4mm 1.6mm 1.8mm 2mm 3mm a.co/d/ahQzcvo
If you want piano wire, they have that too, but I didn't see a mix sizes so you'll need to know exactly what diameter you'd want. Hope that helps on getting the ball rolling. Thanks again for checking out the video, really appreciate it. Have a good one 🤜🤛
So smart 👍
Thank you very much 🙏
brilliant
Bravo 👏👏👏👏🔓👍😁
I like tools handmade.
Very cool 👍🔓 video.
Thank you 👍🏻 I really appreciate it. Have a good day!
@@RookKnight
Well done!!! Very cool done! Good luck Man!!! 👏👏👏👍💯🍻
🙏 thank bro🤜🤛
Hi kitty! I love you!
looks great. I wonder if its possible to make this out of injector pins though? with a lot of dremel and so
Thanks!! I can't remember where I seen it, but I believe I have seen people make them out of injector pins. It would definitely take some time to shape, but might give great results.
@@RookKnight yeah thanks. gotta give it a try, having too much of those pins anyway
@@CatCatchColdI have made some from ejector pins czcams.com/video/0M8KduQ4gGE/video.htmlsi=PKiGLIXAPlj2cVxl
@@RookKnight I did it, it works, take about half an hour to make one. I made 4 and became the least favorited neighbor in the area.
That's awesome, I definitely need to give it a shot. I have a few injectior pins I refound, that were left over from making disc detainer picks. Hearing your success is giving me the itch to give it a go.
Thanks for sharing the good new. Happy picking my friend
P.S my neighbors are no fan of me either lol 😁👍🏻
Man dropped this 4 hours ago and tinnie already duplicated 😝🤘👏👏😎
Tinnie rocks, I absolutely love that he did that. Have a great weekend brother 🤜🤛
@@RookKnight couldnt have said it better. He is a great channel supporter!! He is one of about 40 people i know will atleast try and watch the important parts if not whole upload. It is a real treat to see him doin ur suggestion i bet!! No better way of showing appreciation of your work than instantly trying it out and showing on his channel! Think thats very cool! Only if i had the piano wire🫣😝🤣😜.
Perfect timing Rook Knight you genius. I'm working on a few projects inbetween a gazzilion hours at work and this is an awesome build idea. Perfect for my project.
Thank you Mr Genious 🙂👍
Thank you my friend, very happy to hear it might be helpful. Hope you get some downtime from work soon, and get to relax. All the best to you and yours brother 🤜🤛
👀😼
😁👍
Abus? More like Obsessed with lock sport
Yeah, that tracks 🤣
The metal you're using looks like stainless steel spring tempered piano wire. I've worked with it extensively and doubt very much your flags will last very long without bending or breaking. Perhaps in an emergency situation your method would be useful. You clearly have skills, but you're using the wrong metal. Have you tried using plastic injector pins instead?
Yes I have done many things with injector pins. This project was for people that don't have things like a Dremel, or didn't want to spend hours with a hand file, or maybe don't have the money to spend on a dimple pick set.
As for lasting a long time, nothing lasts forever, but I have lost count on how many locks I've opened (numerous times) using these flags. I also have gotten great feedback from others that have made, and use them.
I think you're overestimating the pressure needed for the majority of dimple lock pins, to be set. Now something like a mul-t-lock interactive, would probably be something these flags wouldn't do well with, but the majority of dimple locks don't take much to set pins.
I have used these flags for almost a year,
And still have the originals from the video. If they do break,(which is totally possible) I will just take 5 minutes and make more.
@@RookKnight Thanks for your explanation. I tend to think like a manufacturer. Would you bet your company's reputation on piano wire? I wouldn't.
@@laurenarndt464 yeah not trying to sell this to you lol. I get what your saying though. This was just a DIY project for people at home for the hobby of Locksport. I have Multipick dimple picks for the real locks like Mul-t-lock and higher. That said, they use piano wire in all sorts of applications, one that pops out to me is for picking lever locks, or curtain locks.

Excellent mate, you are the USA version of Tinnie, you’re both awesome.👏👏👏👏
Lol I'll take that. Have a great weekend. Thanks brother 🤜🤛

LMAO in fairness I said you could use a rock too😆 thank you brother, hope you have a awesome weekend too. All the best to you, and yours brother ! 😁👍🏻
