My mini-is-resisting-to-my-blade solutions ladder:
​
1 The Oil -
Put some oil in the cut, and gently move the blade horizontaly without applying sheer pressure in order to avoid breaking the tool.
​
2 The Scalpel -
Maybe you need a sharper blade. Using a scalpel (or change the blade) may solve the issue.
​
3 The Heat -
Take a lighter and smoothly heat the part to cut : the material should start being softer.
​
4 Apply strength -
Check that the cutting motion isn't going in your direction and be sure to use a cutting mat. Put some safety googles. Then, gently but firmly, put a higher pressure on the blade.
​
5 Apply Violence -
Stuck the blade in the cut and strike the mini on the cutting mat, it deserves this and will broke quickly.

7 Assert Dominance
Grab the DECKER CHAINSAW LCS1240, shred this little fucker into pieces and pee on it because HE WON'T TAKE YOUR WIFE
​
8 Go to Hell
Put some oil on the mini, then shower yourself with it, then crack matches. If you die, he dies
​
9 Ask Help
Now you are dead but this mini is still vaguely scratched. Got to the 6th circle of hell, ask for a guy named Astaroth : he can cut the mini in exchange of your soul.
​
10 Go Drink
Astaroth came back devastated and he understands why you don't seem to suffer that much in hell, so he offers your a drink and then you can both cry in crippling depression

Bonus : Put your solution ladder on Reddit, because you and Astaroth feel lonely
Yeah, I'm trying to save money on it too. What padlock brand/model are you disassembling? Field stripping this Kwikset is the first thing I did when I got it. Very nice to gain that familiarity with the workings before attacking it.
I went about making the picks by printing a Romstar template, matching scale to the ruler in inches on the print-out. Cut out the desired tools and glued them each to a ~5" long section of feeler stock (1/2" wide x 0.02" thick, meant for testing tolerances in machine shops and production lines. 0.02-0.025" is supposed to be the thickness for North American keyways.)
After glue drying, I clamped the feeler stock in a horizontal position in this small vice, and then used EZ Lock Metal Cut-off wheels @~30k RPM to generate a rough shape (Cat#EZ456, should be able to find for $2 per wheel or less, or even cheaper off-brand products). The slower you go and the less you remove at a time, the longer your wheel will last and the less likely you are to overheat the steel (which can cause weaknesses). I used long, light strokes down the whole 5" of feeler for every pass, removing sub-millimeter quantities each time.
I left about 0.5mm of the white paper surrounding the printed tool template, so that I could more cautiously produce the final tool shape with an aluminum oxide grinding wheel (Dremel 952,932,etc). I clamped the Dremel 4300 down to the counter with the bit hanging over the sink, and then hand-held the tool while using the length of the grinding wheel to remove some of the mountains and valley produced by the very thin metal cutting wheel. Holding the pick while leaving the Dremel clamped made it easy to affect how much metal was being removed with small changes in force applied. I used the corners of the grinding wheel to remove away the final material around the snake/hook/half-diamond business end. The same wheel was then used to remove rough spots and round out the edges.
Finishing used some 240 grit sand paper and then a felt buffing wheel with abrasive compound. All these Dremel items came in this Dremel 4300 kit I was gifted a while back. I have a feeling a bench grinder will do a much faster, cleaner job -- but we've all got to start somewhere! :-D
Edit: I'm in the same situation with the recording. Still have to get my white belt yet though! :-D I'll have to figure out a good spot for my phone, or maybe use my webcam. I agree on the cam, never hurts to have a cheap Logitech cam around.
