New to picking and love it!

Hey guys. Been picking locks for about 4 months and i am hooked. I'm 33.. I'm a journeyman electrician.. i live in Nashville..
I have a basic pick set from sparrows and a few rakes from storm. I've made a few tension wrenches and hooks myself. I even made a bogata that im especially proud of cuz it's my first one. It looks exactly like the one i got from storm except i added one more peak. As soon as i figure out how to post pics i will show you guys. Im very excited to be apart of this forum to learn, meet fellow pickers, and expand my resources for new locks, practice locks, tools, tips and advice.....
Right now im limited to picking Masterlock, Schlage, Kwikset, and cheap Chinese stuff. I did manage to get a hold of a 5 pin euro style cylinder for a storm door that has set screws for re-pinning.. Anyway i hope this helps to give you an idea of myself and where im at with this great new hobby.
