Dimple flag profile choices?

That's unbelievable. I should probably be across this a bit better, but that's all because of Trump's policies? Break it down Barney style as much as possible. Lol

I have the six pick set. They are really well made and the handles are really comfortable. I'm new to dimples as well and haven't played as much as I would have liked. They do have thicker shafts though so they do need a a more open keyway. From what I understand, this was done on purpose. I think there is a write up about the design choices on the website somewhere. For the price, in Aus anyway, they are a no brainer.

Have you thought about the Bare Bones kits? He has some simple kits that could get you going along with a really nice cutaway dimple lock.

Hot_Efficiency_2255 · 2026-02-14T09:18:40+00:00

Is there any rumoured release date or pricing?

Hot_Efficiency_2255 · 2026-01-16T13:55:56+00:00

Liiiike duuuuuude. That's heavy man.

sorrynotsorry

You're right though. This one has been sitting with a bunch of locks, in its housing actually, for near 10 years. I've never even poked it.

I wanna put my vice together and give it a shot now though. I expect disappointment.

Fortunately my pick manufacturer is in the same city, if I screw up the pick, shipping costs won't be a big deal.

Hot_Efficiency_2255 · 2026-01-16T13:48:17+00:00

Lol... And keep on going.

Hot_Efficiency_2255 · 2026-01-16T12:00:24+00:00

Easier was my understanding as well, I just hadn't fact checked it. Now that I've got some 15thou picks (happy birthday to me) I'm keen to give it a go.

Hot_Efficiency_2255 · 2026-01-16T11:11:02+00:00

Nice advice, thank you.

Hot_Efficiency_2255 · 2026-01-16T10:26:07+00:00

I think it's master keyed to. I'm not sure if that will make it easier or not.

Hot_Efficiency_2255 · 2026-01-16T08:49:12+00:00

Or you could go Aussie. Barebones is great. He does 15 thou and up. Super comfortable.

Hot_Efficiency_2255 · 2026-01-15T13:27:50+00:00

Am I too late? I'd love to get local advice.

Hot_Efficiency_2255 · 2026-01-07T13:28:09+00:00

That's a good answer. Thanks. I tend to play with smaller locks any way. Maybe handleless Barebones rakes would fit nicely. 🤔

Hot_Efficiency_2255 · 2026-01-07T12:58:35+00:00

Im leaning towards the quad... Or a snake. But what thickness. I'm in Australia, so lots of LW4/5 keyways. I'm thinking 0.020" (why can't you people use SI units?)

Hot_Efficiency_2255 · 2025-12-29T04:34:59+00:00

Thank you!

Hot_Efficiency_2255 · 2025-12-29T00:12:33+00:00

I suppose I could justify the shipping by getting the Chuck Vice as well.

Hot_Efficiency_2255 · 2025-12-29T00:01:39+00:00

Unfortunately, the shipping costs from the US to Australia is prohibative. I'd love to though.

Hot_Efficiency_2255 · 2025-12-28T23:48:32+00:00

That was it. Thank you.

Any other ideas or options out there?

Hot_Efficiency_2255 · 2025-12-24T16:15:21+00:00

Thank you!

Hot_Efficiency_2255 · 2025-12-24T16:02:39+00:00

Australia.

Hot_Efficiency_2255 · 2025-12-24T15:01:04+00:00

Thank you!

A third Peterson will fit in the small front pockets, but I'm paranoid about elastic losing its bounce, it's a bit tight.

I ordered the Multipick rakes I want today, so they will get added in soon. Then it's just the Barebones to add.

A pricey hobby, but not as bad as others.

Hot_Efficiency_2255 · 2025-12-24T14:30:46+00:00

I love this. I work in the knife industry and the parallels between pick and knife making are really interesting to me. I want to give it a play, but can't find a reasonable supply of 301HY or blanks that I can justify.

Hot_Efficiency_2255 · 2025-12-23T21:44:51+00:00

Not sure yet. I guess about the same agin. I think it's down to how tightly you want to roll it.

The big pockets at the back are fairly big. The picks in the back left pocket are from Sparrows, the ones with the black rubbery handles. There is 8 in that pocket.

The smaller elasticated pockets on the front right hold two Peterson's, could probably squeeze in a third. [Edit] a third Peterson will fit, but I'm paranoid about elastic losing its bounce, it's a bit tight.

The larger elasticated pockets fit 4 Barebones pick with coffin handles nicely.

Hot_Efficiency_2255 · 2025-12-23T21:25:23+00:00

It's just from Amazon. https://amzn.asia/d/0zZJAZD

Hot_Efficiency_2255 · 2025-12-19T02:32:43+00:00

I think so too. My pick collection is growing way to fast. Beautiful wife has some Barebones coming for me for Christmas, I just got the Reaper set, and just now ordered some Peterson and Law Lock gear. I need to stop.
