- I absolutely love this! 😍 I had the idea that I wanted to make a ring out of a whole, un-modified lock pick and I an so pleased with the results. It’s stainless steel with 925 silver and I now wear it 😃👍

Who wouldn't want a genuine Lock Noob prototype lock pick ring?! I'll take 3.
I’ll take one, how much?
I would legit buy this.
Before start playing the video, I thought this is going to be a concealed rake where you unfold to use like a secret agent trying to get out of a sticky situation.
Same! I think Modern Rouge did something like that though.
Sadly not, but i like the idea!
That's what I thought too.
I have seen covert picks designed to look like a ring, but I forget where.
Picker and a jeweler here. You can use 301 stainless, but I'd anneal it first to take away the hardening. We do the same when we are doing a hammered finish, as gold, silver, etc. all get work hardened when putting the hammered finish on. Just heat the piece up, let it cool, and go back to work.
Good advice, thanks!
So all we need now is that you start mass producing these, and someone comes up with a secret handshake... 😁
lol
Lmao!
If you make the ring too small and then put it on the mandrel to size it you could keep the spring holding it in round as you pound it to the right size paying mind to the directions of your hits with the mallet.. Then just wrap a thread around it so you could unroll it in a pinch. Make sure you round those edges! I cought my ring in a window sill one time and it peeled my finger like a banana. You could even use uv poly resin on the inside for a comfort fit and to keep from getting the green ring on your finger... cool videos keep up the good work. Thank you for what you do.
Thanks 😀👍
I am historically a goldsmith (changed careers now but did it for some years) and your technique is fine. When ring making from bar I'd do basically the same thing though I was taught to use half round parallel pliers so that's the way I did it its not wrong to use the bending tool you used (I think if my mentor had one of those that's what I'd have used, but he didn't).
Couple of recommendations though - you could use a half round file on the inside after braising to hide the step where the handle end starts. and also once braised: if these were to be worn they won't be super comfy because they're wide and flat inside so take some heavy grit paper flat on the table and sand them a little narrower (the alternative would be to make the inside curved like a comfort fit ring, but the pick doesn't looks thick enough to file that profile in), maybe take a half millimetre to a millimeter off both sides (leaving the pick profile undisturbed obviously) and it will be just a little nicer to wear
Oh, and invest in a few polishing tips for whatever dremel/pendant motor you use. They make the pre-buffing bit a lot easier than manually doing it with different grit papers...
Finally maybe experiment with textures - sandblasting a satin finish on, or doing a partial satin finish with the pick profile polished and shiny ... endless possibilities.
Thanks 😊 I just bought more grades of compound and some dremel tips as you said!
Hey RingNoob! Nice work! I would like to see one with the picking end gold plated. I think that the contrast against the silver handle would make the ring really pop! But beautiful work my friend. What's next? Can I suggest a nipple ring perhaps? 😂
Great use for the prototypes.
Thanks 😀👍
Fabulous looking, awesome concept and idea, wonderful
Thanks!
Very cool and great Idea. Nice job on the soldering, I'm a plumber and probably couldn't have done any better and I have lots of experience with silver soldering. Hats off to you M8 on a nice ring, I want one now. 🙂. Take care and have a great day.
That's very kind of you to say!
That is a great idea, and executed beautifully.
Thanks!
bloody beauty, now do a giveaway comp for one 🙃
If only I had the time to make more!
You need to make a "Game of thrones" throne with them, that would be cool. 👍
Yeah!
LN you had me going there for a sec. When you dumped those picks i first thought is sacriligeous to mess up good picks....
Don't do that again😆😆😆
Lol, sorry!
Lovely job . Nice idea for your tee shirts as in intertwined rings logo .
oooh, nice idea
Can you please share some info on the pliers? I looked around a bit for them, and cannot find any that look like them.
I just searched on UK ebay for ring pliers and there were loads of options :-)
Cool!
And we'll done!
Although I am not a jeweler, I have made rings before out of coins and nuts. The hardest part is contouring the inside so it is comfortable on the finger.
When I saw the title of this video I got excited, I thought it would be a usable pick coiled up to wear as a ring/covert pick. But this was cool too.
Thanks 😀👍 The inside is really comfortable. I've been wearing one for a week now and it's great
I'm tempted to mold a pick and attempt this in fine silver.
Awesome idea. I'd imagine you could do well selling them.
That would be cool!
Incredible!
What a fantastic idea. I would bet you could turn all those prototypes into something. Add in your cost of labor to the cost of the test batch, divide by how many unit you have to sell, add 30% (as a profit margin) and offer for sale. Depending on price per unit....you'd sell hundreds a day. If you add a signature to each unit they become collector pieces.
If I only had the time!
I love these inventive lock related crafts. I just started making lanyard beads in the shape of security pins. Give it a shot! I just used about 1/2 inch brass rods.
a man of many talents..very cool.
You did a great job Lock Noob. It looks really smart.
I am a fabrication welder by trade and spent years doing different welding techniques. I used to braze a lot and think you've done a decent job silver soldering your ring. Well Done.
Great project 🙂👍🏻
Very kind of you to say roy!
I also hate waste What a brilliant idea it looks really good
Yeah, but he has like 200 prototype picks...
Thanks 😀👍
That looks pretty good Ash well done 👍🏻
Thanks 😊🙏
Wonderful idea. great end result
Thank you! Cheers!
Love this idea. Awesome man. You need to wear set of your favorite profiles to a tournament! 👍 👍 Mad pressure for all competition. Also silver solder the edges. Makes it look as a solid piece.. Spp on one hand, rakes on the other.. Would be some mad flex in a comp. Great work man. I absolutely love it! 👍 👍
Thank you!
Very cool and unique idea
Thanks 😀👍
Brilliant!
Thanks 😀👍
that ring is so cool!
Thanks 😀👍
That is absolutely brilliant. Very lovely and clever.
You should consider doing a limited run of these bud, maybe just in steel, but they would be awesome, I would definitely buy 1 straight away 😁 fantastic work mate, and a great way to reuse the blanks you’ve been left with 😊
Thanks 😀👍
Its beautiful!
Thank you! 😊
I like it. I recently bought the set from multipick that you designed as my first pick set. Can you do a video about which locks that I can reasonably open with these rakes and what locks I can't. I am looking for more hooks to add to this set. Thanks
No easy answer on this. they work in loads of locks, but like any rake, it is bitting and skill dependent, not brand and model :-) Take a look at my overview vids and see the range of locks i was picking - this is only the tip of the iceburg :-)
Love it!!! I want one !!!
Thanks 😀👍
Wow, now that is the definition of waste not want not! Really great idea and with all of those prototypes you should start an ETSY store and sell them :) Seriously, I wouldn't have the time to make them and would love to wear one. Great job, fantastic outcome!
Clever idea
Thanks 😀👍
Those look amazing!! Now holding out for 'LocketNoob' as an upcoming side channel for all your jewellery endeavours :D
Ow that’s a thought
Love it!
Thanks 😀👍
I dont know, giving it the middle finger, Noob what you like.
🤫
I'd love to buy a ring
I’m glad you like it!
You did a great job Locknoob. The ring is marvelous and the content enjoyable.
Thanks!
Beautiful work! Maybe you can even stamp your signature or etch something (a monogram maybe) at the end of the handle before you roll it and thus make it on the inside of the ring.
Oooh, nice idea!
Thanks 👍
It was interesting to me !!!
I think now , what kind of brands will be good ...in my tool's set.
But your work 👍 it was excellent !!!!)
I say about ring 💍!!!)
Very very good 😁. Nice ring .
And what kind of metal is it..!!!?
Like snake !!!
👏👏👏👏
yes Ash mate fantastic idea it turned out nice well done👍😎🇬🇧🤟👊😊
The person that needs to make this is.. *R A T Y O K E*
he would do a fantastic job
You are great!! 👏👏👏
They look awesome dude 👍👍
Thanks 👍
Love the way you're always thinking outside the box 📦 well done 👏
Thank you! 😊
Wow! Great job on the ring. How many picks did you go through until you had your video version? I was a goldsmith for many years in a different lifetime. I found myself wanting a pair of those pliers. I used to beat metal into rings on the mandrel. The rake makes a great pattern. Stunning. Cheers!
Yhe video one was my third attempt
Better than my third attempt at making a ring. You will be smithing all sorts of metals soon.
pretty awesome idea! looks very cool!
Thanks 😀👍
Great idea! And it makes for a nice ring!
Thank you! Cheers!
Epic!!
Thanks 😀👍
Really great idea Ash my dear friend, love the idea, it's an awesome ring and love to watch the making process. You are the man! thanks for showing ;o)))
way cooool!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks 😀👍
Beautiful work sir! Your ingenuity and skill is always impressive, so cool! 👍👍
Very very nice, holy crap 😍
I used to make rings from coins when I had more free time, now you make my hands itch to start again😅
Excellent upscaling of otherwise useless steel. Stylish and announces you're a locksporter. Nice job.
Now I know what ring size to buy to confess my love for locknoob😉
LMAO 🤣
Lol :-)
Love this!
Thanks 😀👍
Your channel should be called Lock Nerd ;D xoxo
That is super cool!
Thanks 😀👍
That's both a very nice idea and a nice execution of it! You manage to exexute a lot of your creative ideas really well👍
You have get again increased your cool factor by another magnitude my friend.
Do you have an Etsy shop? I'd (and I'm sure many others would) love to buy one!
Not a bad thought... if only I had the time!
pretty cool😁 you could make a few bucks off that😁👍
That looks super cool mate, awesome job👍🇦🇺😊
Thanks 😀👍
Ya I really love it would you be willing to part with a few of those picks so I could make my own
Can you please make bracelets and thank you very much. It would be a awesome idea. If it isn’t out yet
I need a new wedding wring and have been kicking this idea around in my head for a month
Any plans on making any batch to sell if so I would be interested in getting one
Awesome idea! Great vid.
Quick Question: Anyone know what's up with Bosnian Bill? I haven't seen a new video in a while. Thanks
Taking some time out with a personal/family issue. Looking after a friends children
Cool idea..:-) What are those pliers called..?
‘ Ring pliers’ is what I searched for on eBay
@@LockNoob Cheers Buddy, I was looking on Aliexpress and searched "ring pliers" but they weren't the same as Yours, I'll take a look on eBay..:-)
Very cool. Now how do I get one 😂😂😂
If I had the time is would make some more
@@LockNoob add me to the list buddy
Where to buy?
If only I had the time to make more!!
I went one please
Home run
Can I buy one of those?
Nice of you to ask, but it takes me too long to make these for me to have the time to do it
Can I buy one?
Sadly not - I don't have the extra time to make more
سلام استاد عزیر
شما فروش هم دارید از این ابزار ؟ یعنی میشه سفارس داد و ازتون خرید ؟
Where did you get the original soft metal pick? I'd actually like to try this
These were prototypes I had cut to test a profile before I approached a manufacturer
Anyone want to give him some crap for filing in both directions? lol 🤣 Good work lock noob
I really didn’t this time! I did draw back lightly on the metal tho
I'm very guilty of doing it so many times. Even my wife has caught me. 😂
@@jmr They say if you use files every day and they last you a lifetime then you're using them wrong...
@@douro20 I don't know who "they" are, but I never heard that, and drawing a file backward will dull it.
yay ring plier link ????? please

Wow, that's lovely! Great job Ash and thanks for sharing. Take care mate and have an awesome weekend.
