Hi everyone. Ive lurked over this forum for a=some time and I've taken up lock picking as a hobby. I bought some Picks from southord and am now making some of my own just for shits and giggles. Im not very skilled at picking yet but once I find/buy some locks that are a bit easier than the ones around my neighborhood that people let me try I hope to make progress. Anywho just saying hello world.
It's funny until someone gets hurt..........Then it's hilarious.

:roll: Tell you what, focus on learning to pick, and eventually, a sig block will come your way - I'm expecting mine any day now....

Hey. i'm new, i've picked one lock so far. My brother is refanius. I picked his masterlock 140 with the homebrew tools he has (read: pen clip for torque, paperclips for picks.) It was pretty fun. I'm going to go get a few locks to start practicing on now. :)

No one is as cool as Varjeal. If you think you'll ever be as cool as Varj, you're still living in the 80's. :wink: *cough* 80's *cough cough* pun on username *cough* :wink:

Santos recently contracted salmonella from some dirty goats that Triman sent him, he's changed his fee. It's now 3 camels and a packet of dishwashing gloves. The soft kind. :wink:

Santos, I'm so sorry... I told that butcher to take that piece with the purpleish tinting to the back and get me another piece, but I guess he didn't do it. I'll have a long talk with the manager tomorrow...


Anyway, welcome everyone to this great site of awesomeness and learning of good stuff.

I just started picking locks on Friday.
This site has been a tremendous help.
I have been able to find the answer for every question that I have come across by using the search function.
