Alright im new... i you probably been asked a hundred times

[Garbit]

I want to start lock picking but as you can probably tell im only new. I live in the UK in the middle of know where and at 15 i just want some thing new to learn rather then farming!

Can any one suggest a suitable selection of tools that i should get my hands onto, nothing fancy because i dont have a large income!
And could any one suggest any locks that i can practise on (uk locks only) cose i thought about putting a lock on a bit of wood then trying to pick it.

Also if there are any guides that any one would like to point me in the general direction i would be most apreciative! Thanks loads

Search around the forums, especiallhy the FAQ thread. Search for the MIT guide, and of course Pyro's video on making your own picks. It's all here, just search on it.

The PXS-05L isn't slimline. The 5 piece slimline is about the same price but you may find that harder to start off on.

Not really sure if you need the guide because the MIT guide and other info on this site far exceeds what you'll learn in the book imo.

i am sorry to say that, but if you are 15 years old and want to learn something new rather than farming....then my suggestion is to stay at school...try to finish high school and go to college.

my english is not good, but yours looks a little bit worse than mine.

dont bother with the book, the Guides on this site will teach you more then any book. Just search around, read the 'MIT Guide', read it a few more times, and practice picking, practice practice practice.

once you are sufficient in that, if you find you are interested in locks, you can start reading through this forum for other stuff on locksmithing... like Rekeying, etc. and find information about courses you can take.

start with a small "MPXS" set instead (notice the M), tad more expensive, but they have handles, so they are more comfortable picks to have.

oh, and for future reference, try using the 'search' feature at the top of the forum. can be really helpfull if you are looking for specific information on something... (ie: courses to take, making your own picks, etc..)

Ye im still at school and i want to go on to do btec's in business studies and electrical and computer hardware I aint that bad at school, im just fed up with it!

I saw a 5 peice pick set that was around £14 slim line (cose i think i need them for the locks in england) so im gonna order them as soon as my mum can write out a check .. lol but i still gotta pay!

[Chucklz]

The slimline set will probably make life alot easier, so I would say to go with them, if nothing for the occasional occasion in which they are necessary.
