Your welcome!  They just don't feel good, they also look more professional when sanded and polished  Hope your learning progresses now as smoothly as your picks move in a lock

New fish here...
I've been interested in picking since I was a teenager, but never really put any thought to it until recently. Just picked up some basic picks, and am learning more everytime I pick up a new lock.
Like many others, I probably won't have a lot of input, at least for some time.
I look forward to learning more here!

Hello, my name is Ryan, and I'm trying to learn how to lockpick (no duh, right?). I tried to open my older brother's Pacman [arcade] machine when I was a lot younger, because he lost the key, but was not able to. All I thought about trying then was a couple paperclips :/ . We still haven't found the key yet XD
Well, my uncle is coming in a few weeks and he may give me and my brother some money like he does everytime he has came. I might purchase a set of lockpicks when I do have the money.

Welcome everybody,
For all thoes new to the site and lockpicking, LP101 is a great place to start.
Take a look at the new users section, first and don't be afraid to ask any questions just remember to try a search before posting. Cause everyone should HYSF as well as there Pick-fu.
If you're looking for locks to pick, buy some but, DO NOT PICK LOCKS YOU OR ANYONE ELSE RELY ON
I repeat DO NOT PICK LOCKS YOU OR ANYONE ELSE RELY ON, they can and will break, then your house/car/safe/chasity belt is vulnerable or unable to be opened (think: emergency situation).
Keep it legal.
Cheers,
UWSDWF

Hi,
I’m Jutak.
I don't have experience in lock picking.
I have seen a magician that opened many padlocks and he succeeded in freeing himself from the chains.
The magician also opened the locks and went out of the trunk.
I’ve asked him: "How do you do?".
The magician has answered me: "Found a Master".
I think I’ve found here many Masters.
I hope to see again that magician after having learned a lot in this site.
I would like to do as him.
Also learning the Art of Locksmith is interesting.
Thank you to Administrators, Moderators, Supporters for the great work and to all the Members for sharing the knowledges.
