The key parts of the bracelet – Lock picks and the Tension wrench/holder

This isn’t shown in the show, but in my goal of making it usable I decided to go for it. To complement the pics, I needed a removable tension wrench. Just make sure to export your DXFs in “inches” or “mm” and not “pixels” – or your SCS order (more details on that soon) will be far more expensive and comically large. As dumb as it is, Inkscape is my favorite 2d cad program for doing anything artistic, and it’s free. I googled some pictures of a rake and a hook that looked like my favorite pics, and traced them in Inkscape. I could claim I did a bunch of engineering and research… but I didn’t. After working out the body of the bracelet, I had to design the picks themselves. If you have larger or smaller hands then that, you can modify the DXFs and get a perfectly sized bracelet, but I recommend doing a test piece before ordering (even if it’s just printed out on paper and cut with scissors, having a tangible representation is super helpful).

The drawings are sized to my 6.5″ wrist, but these plans should work for anyone with wrists between 5.5″ and 7″ in circumference. I believe in you! Test bracelets showing various design options If you want to go with the original pentagon, you should be able to modify your part order to do so. After playing with a few different polygons, I settled on a hexagon as the most comfortable shape. While accuracy was a priority, I wanted to make this real, and real meant usability was the main priority. Turns out wrists aren’t pentagon-shaped, so the corners constantly caught on things, and the whole bracelet was far too bulky. I laser cut the parts out of scrap plexiglass, built a few test bracelets in different sizes, and they were all terrible. Solidworks is pretty pricey if they don’t sponsor your Hackerspace with a license (Thanks Dassault!), but you don’t actually need it - I just used it because it was a quick way for me to get a basic idea. I drew a circle in Solidworks and laid out a pentagon around it – matching the design from the show.

The first step was to work out rough sizing. Watching Cowboy Bebop (Live action), there’s a shot where Faye’s mother Matsumoto slips off her bracelet, and hidden within is a lock pick set! I immediately fell in love with the concept, and started planning out the build in my head. “I’m always amazed people think valet keys will keep anything safe” – Matsumoto
