Hello.

My name is Shawn, I've been picking locks off and on for about 20 years, with a recent upturn in activity and interest. I got started with the MIT guide/alt.locksmithing and a Majestic set purchased from an old crotchety locksmith in upstate NY, one of the few places that mere mortals could buy professional picks from back then. Now I give way too much money to Ken Peterson.

I've been on a padlock kick lately.

I work in Infosec.

Welcome. You'll fit right in here.

Hello and welcome,
Majestic was my first set of real lockpicks as well. Got them back in the 80's.
Looking forward to seeing some of your collections of padlock.
