Hi, I'm here to welcome myself to this introduction. I have a lot to learn and hope to speak with as many of you as possible. Picking a lock to me was easier than I thought it would be at first, and I now hope to further my lock picking knowledge and education.

I would advice not to pick locks that are in use, as you may damage them or break them.

Hey everybody! (hey doctor nick!) ..<_<; sorry, personal humor... I'm DietBroccoli! (thank you for pointing that out captain obvious!) and I'm new to these forums, and although I'm not yet a master picker id rank myself one notch above amateur.. maybe novice (I know they are technically synonyms but they are used differently <_< ) lol.. Anywho >_>... If you wanna talk just PM me! (although i dont see why you'd do such a thing <_< ) and I hope to become an active member of this community ^^ thanks.. for what I'm not sure but still.. yea.

Hey guys.

I kinda picked up an interest in locks after attending HOPE last weekend (got to see the guys from Toool go over copying high security keys it was awesome) and proceeded to start looking into locks and picking.

After lurking for bit on this site which is packed full of great info, I've got a set of picks in route and now I just gotta find a lock to start on. =D
