I Issue a Pick making Challenge!

When it comes down to it there is nothing better than manual tools for your Lock pick Set, whether they be retail, homebrew, macgyver style. DIY'ers look here.

As long as we pick all the locks around everyone with out actually opening the lock that would kill the bad guys =P

As a note, I met with with Schulyer (and the picks) for a few days this past week. Took pictures and such of them and talked a bit. The information is being compiled and such, however Schulyer has just been extremely busy and has a hell of a past month or so. It is being worked on and he is still alive, so just be patient is all I can say... :roll:

I really would like to see the entries all photographed and posted somewhere, then each of the members can decide for themselves about who won.

hey

STFU

Schuyler has been busy flying across America for months now so he hasnt been home in front of his computer and pile of user submitted picks in order to write up a proper report. I guarantee you that there is no scam when it comes to anything Schuyler does for the locksport community so all you n00bs need to chill out.

Schuyler is honest person, just very busy with his work usually (for all the teenagers behind the screen: work is something you do to make a living), so give some slack. This is a hobby for all of us, not some nine to five job.

Photographing the picks well enough to do them justice so they can be judged from those photos online is something that requires no small amount of time and effort to be done right, and that's just one part of the contest he volounteered to organize. It's not like he can drag the picks with him everywhere he goes and take care of it when he gets a hotel room with good lighting. I mean most of the entries were days, even weeks late, and so was the judging, so it isn't really a surprise the contest results are late as well.

I don't remember paying Schuyler to do the work of organizing it, and there is no tangible prize. He's not going to make his millions off hocking a fistful of homemade jimmies on Ebay, and I don't know why anyone who didn't enter has reason to be critical of the progress at all. Everyone who did enter can probably remain cautiously optimistic that the wheels are in motion. That he isn't at this very moment making his way under the cover of darkness to the Mexican border so he can barter passage to South America where he will hold up in a bomb shelter at the base of Andes mountains honing his speed picking skills with the ill gotten gains of a fraudulent online contest handcuffed to his wrist. Biding his time until the swallowed keys reappear. Sweet peerless model 710 high security handcuffs... :lol:
