Hi from SoCal
I got my first set of pics (HPC 32) at least 10 years ago and joined my first forum in 2007.
However I did not do much with the pics until I rediscovered them recently.
Bought 4 locks from Habitats for Humanities restore and have had fun raking and learning the finer art of SPP.
One of them opens very easily the others not so much but I do eventually get them open.
Some rake easily, others do not, some prefer a hook and others prefer a half diamond and that's only with a sample set of 4.
I got hold of a huge number of sweeper bristles and have now made some Bogotas, wrenches, half diamond and a hook. Really lots of fun opening a lock with home made pics.
I now need to start looking for some locks with a security pin or two. Been spending lots of time on Craigslist and must revisit the restore soon.
