Postby Dak » 18 Jan 2009 16:16

you might be interested in Ray's handcuff talks, e.g. here: http://www.thelasthope.org/talks.html

Happy Birthday, and congrats on picking the cuffs. I just did the same a week or so ago. My cuffs had no name on them, so I don't know what the diff is between them. They double lock etc, and by my standards a well built pair, yet no name.
Include some still pics when you post. I will try and do the same...

These look like your normal chain handcuffs. What are thoughts on hinged handcuffs? I got a couple of pairs but haven't had a chance to play yet.

I thoughts on the hinged cuffs is this.

they look freaking impossible to pick even if you try to use the key. I think it would make your hands just too cramped.

Congrats, man. Happy for you. I might get some handcuffs some time down the line to play around with.
What do you want from me? Some nice pretty picture with a million photoshop effects and super complex font work, heirarchy, cropping and stuff?

Well then give me a week or two.

Happy birthday and all, great job with getting the unlocked, now try with the double lock if it has one. One question why are you wearing a dress shirt and have a pocket watch?

Do both side need to be picked. Just looking at the keyway in the centre.
