Hello from Detroit Michigan
I would like to introduce myself . My name is Fritz and some of my old friens call me Fritz the Cat . Something about a cat named Felix ? I still haven't figured that out . 
I became interested in lockpicking back in 71 when my shop teacher lost the key to the trophy display case. I looked at the lock and noticed that it used a rachet system to lock the glass . I knew about shimming handcuffs and appied the same tek to the teachers amazement
. I got drafted into the war and joined the Navy got injured and was back to civilian life shortly after , I studied the Belsaw Locksmithing course with my wife and got my first HPC pick set which Ive had since . Its falling apart.
Fourty years later I rekindled my interest in picking locks because of 2 events. My son purchased a trunk of old magig tricks citca 60s . Along with the box of tricks were 4 picksets , a modest collection pf key blanks , key machine and handcuffs (new). The other event was finding an old S & G enviromental lock at the old Warrem Tank Plant grounds now an industrial park .
So I've been picking and making picks . Which was getting old so now I,ve ordered a Monstrm XXL from Sparrows . That was yesterday . Canada is due South from here across the Ambassador bridge . The order has been processed yesterday . I wonder how long it'll take ?
