I have bunch if padlocks and difficult level varies from too easy to challenging. I have read that there was competition (Dutch open?) where you made key for loc you had. Im looking some little help (please dont tell me straight how to do it :D) how this works, do you need special tools etc.?

I only have home made shims and bumb keys and cheap pickset.

I see that you are in finland, I don't know if all the padlocks in finland are abloys, but I think you will find that our member Jaakko will be able to answer your questions better than most of us, he knows what locks are used in finland. Try to pm him and see if he will take you under his wing.
Wake up and smell the Kafka!!!
