The weight of raking

Postby gloves » 5 Feb 2012 10:25

Hello,

I thought I'd share with you this video. It's nothing more than a simple raking exercise on a dirty padlock
which has been kindly sold to me. Dirt and rust make nice picking challengers :wink:

Thanks for viewing :)

oddly creepy, with the sound of the tape spooling being all you hear, and the slow and deliberate movements of the rubber gloved hands.
I realize that there are a lot of reasons someone might use the gloves, skin infections being one of them, and the lock was probably a bit dirty too.
Wake up and smell the Kafka!!!

I didn't expect it to be creepy and apologize for having provoked such a feeling to you, but really it's way better than how my hands are messed up at the moment :( Also sorry for being slow, I yet have to recover normal hand dexterity. I want to point out that I'm not exploiting my current status to say that when I'm fine I open locks with a blink of my eyes, but of course I'm not that slow and impaired either.

Thanks for commenting :)

what happened to your hands? that must be bad if you have to wear gloves all the time.

They got all swollen from an infection/dermatitis, just to get an idea they're normally about half that thickness.
Luckily they're better now.

Thanks for the concern :)

That's good that they're healing. At least you can still pick locks!

I'm finding it highly irritating when people post videos and don't want to speak.
Dialogue and explanation goes a long way. Watching someone pick a lock is not much of a learning experience.

Dialogue is worth its weight in unobtonium especially when attempting to learn something from the video.
