No, lol, not the edible food that you can eat.
I have been reading on this alt.locksmithing group all day. I've learned some interesting things. I always thought a person could use ESD on an electronic lock to screw with it, I was right.. but they may be an old obsolete technique now.
What I'm trying to get at is that I want to know how to make slim jims. I think I'm goona become a junkyard warrior here soon and just start messing around on vehicles in junk yards. Seeing as how dealing with vehicular locks are most of a locksmith's income. I've decided I want to start messing more with vehicle locks.
I'm currently in the Foley Belsaw program and switched over from lp101 to here.. I somewhat am not fond of the 4 month waiting period they have for someone to get into the advanced section. I go back to college full-time in four months, I don't have that kind of time to wait.
Since I'm not actually an official locksmith right now, and not employed, I can't really write off anything as tax deductible. Also, because I'm making no cash and whatever cash I get I spend on food or transportation.
So, I'll ask but probably get flamed.
How do I make slim jims for vehicles out of household/hardware/macgyver style metal materials?
I understand I could use a the infamous coat hanger but I believe I read that can do more damage than good.
I have a grinder with a dremel downstairs and saw pyro's video for making picks (lp101). So I'll understand if it takes me about an hour or so to wield a large piece of metal into a large hook. I don't want to spend a lot of money on this though.

Also, I got this old chrysler car in the back. Sadly I disapprove of how foley keeps on GM, that's very annoying. They act as if GM is the only car type in existance through most of it. The car in the back of my yard is a beaten up car that is older than me by a few months. 85 Dodge .. it's got a lot of names..
