I've searched lp101 and google for a review and more informations about this movie. Since i haven't been able to find anything, i was wondering if someone already bought this movie and if so could tell if it's worth the 26$ on lockpickshop.com or all the informations on the movie can be found on lp101 and on the making pick video by pyro1234321 (a great movie by the way :) ).

It's an excellent video. I would love to have a copy of it again myself.

A lot of that information is already on here though, and you can save yourself the money unless you want to have it for future reference.

There is a book that goes along with it as well.

Do you think Paladin still sell it?

The video perhaps, but I think the book is long out of print. At least, I didn't see it in the last catalogue.

I see this is an old post but I was wondering if this video Personal Picks followed his book Home Workshop Professional Lock Tools. Specifically the tubular pick, I get about half way through the description in the book and I can not picture what he is trying to say. If his video has this section then I would gladly buy the video, but otherwise I can do all the rest of the stuff in his book. Any help would be greatly appriciated, thank you.

Or if anyone might be able to help me get what he is saying in the book. Page 98 of Home Workshop Professional Lock Tools, I don't know if I can copy an paste the page here to help get the visual. So if anyone has the book let me know how you picture it being done. Thank you.
