Just saying hey.
New hobbyist from Australia.
Have picked one or two locks over the last week; and really enjoying the feeling of accomplishment from opening them haha. But seriously, very interested and stoked to absorb as much info as I can.
Thanks!

Hey guys this is Charles. I just started the lock picking hobby since I've been trying to find a new hobby and I've been enjoying this immensely. For now, I have the Southford 14 pick set, and got myself the EZ Rekey set, and it's been fun. I've managed to successfully pick regular pin tumblers and I'm slowly learning the spool pins. I find it kind of hard when there are 2 or more spool pins, but if there are only one, it's not too difficult. I hope to learn a lot on these boards, and have a lot of fun discussions. Nice to meet you guys.

Hi I'm new to the idea of lock picking as a hobby and a sport. I love to thinker with my hands, and find the idea of learning a "black art" just for the fun of it amusing.
