Also nice pick blocks! Did you make or buy them? They kind of look like test tube racks.

I might even have a key to your lock & thank you for the kind words about the stands. I have been messing with different cases from various manufacturers for a little while now & i always seem to have problems grabbing & replacing picks with one hand while holding a lock & tension wrench in the other so i made these out of some blocks of fire wood cause i could not find anything i liked premade. I wish i had some blocks of aluminum to make a few more.

Very cool! I got mine on eBay, so you never know, could be likely they were from the same lot.
I also have a bit of another hobby with espresso. One company was making some kind of single shot dosing vials which fit into a charred wood block like that.

I've been looking for a stand up pick case, block of wood seems so much more obvious! Thanks again for the idea, definitely something I need to help clean up my bench.
BTW your other locks look amazing as well.

Some nice Abloy there too. I see High Profile (nice 656) and Protec. But nothing too hard to pick, you know
