So, introduction.

After seeing this article on Slashdot (about bumping), I spent a couple of hours surfing the net for lock picking material. I printed the MIT guide about a year ago; it's still lying around somewhere. I'm a hacker (in the good, legal sense!) and have been interested in lock picking for a long time. I live in London, UK.

i just started about three days ago, i made my own picks out of hacksaw blades and for now only have a torsion wrench made out of an allen key but will soon be making a few better ones (two sided rigid, two [small and bigger] twist flex wrenches). so far so good, i picked my fist wafer lock in less than a minute on the first try.(i don't know if thats good or not) ya, i guess thats all for an introduction.

Hello, I'm definetly a young blood when it comes to picking, but hopefully you guys can help me out. I've always been interested in learning, but until recently, didn't have a very reliable source for internet surfing(imagine, Teacher: Hey, What are you looking at!, Me: Oh nothing, just lock picking. Teacher then leads me to office with some story about how I was intending to break in to the school). but that problem has been solved now, and I can surf at ease.

I'm new, hi. Just starting up, hoping to use some lockpicking in an escapology type thing, also just looks cool.
