What have you picked today

[Neilau]

Hey Neilau, I hope you are prepared to get you ass handed back to you this coming summer!

The security ratings make me laugh, I went looking for the highest rated Master lock and it sucked ass. 10/10? Not at all.[/quote]


Hux.

Sorry, What have I missed?

Seems that you are agreeing with me.

I've been wrong before -- will be again.

As a famous Australian politician once said "Please explain"

[huxleypig]

Yes, I am agreeing with you, they're nonsense.

Next summer you lot will be in our back yard, time to re-take the ashes (not that they actually ever leave Lords, lol).

[Neilau]

Ahhhh......... I see.

THAT time of year.

The "Fat Lady" is just warming up.

For the benefit of our American, European and other friends --- we are talking Cricket (not a brand of Chinese lock).

There are a few of us on the other side of the pond who are familiar with, and have even played, cricket.

Picked these over the last couple of days:
Ilco mortise with RB keyway from macgng (tricky keyway for me approx 2 hrs), An American A1100 from locksportsupply.com (pure fluke, still working on a legit pick. Gutted it and it has 5 driver spools and 5 serrated kp's),


And a Papaiz (Made in Brazil) that was tossed by a local locksmith that had a broken spring at #1( What a nightmare that was!) I spent probably close to 15 hours on this lock before success. I decided to drill it and gut it for a practice lock and found 5 spools of standard size). Notice I screwed up drilling out #5 (but salvagable) that should teach me to use the drillpress next time.


ETA: the EC75 is also from macgng that's my present work in progress (need to make a better dimple pick for this one , Damn that's a tight keyway). The prybar under the picks is a homebrew copy of a sparrows mic'd at .038 and works well but a little crude.

Nice! That ilco is a Russwin D1 keyway which can be tricky.

This EC75 was fun I bet hp still - remembers this lock also I think all spool on this ! why a 6 on the abus scale - good luck

One of the first locks I got to play with. They can be raked, or spp'ed. I have two of these, keyed alike, and this particular one has always been a problem.
It'll only pick pins up, so I suspect one of the springs is broken.

The first of the new (to me, second hand really) locks has given up

That keyway :O

[GWiens2001]

That keyway is nicely twisted. Just like my mind.

Not the most friendly keyways. Well done!
