Just came across this site, I'm new to everything just waiting on first tool kit being delivered but very keen to learn, would be great to chat to others especially from Scotland, even Tayside where I'm based.

Hello,
Using information found on this site, I have produced my own set of lockpicks and have now picked my way through my entire house after a week of practice. Its a strangely addicting hobby I've gotten myself into...
Anyhow, it's good to be here.

::sigh:: I wish resources like this were available when I first picked up the hobby... I never even bothered to search for a site like this. I started in high school with 30-year old wafer locks (and two paper clips), along with a dog-eared copy of the MIT guide... it's amazing how far things have come; I just with I knew about some of this info sooner. I guess my old locks (and my HPC's) will have a new lease on life, now that I've learned about bumping, Bogota's, and more!
