Every time I'm on this post and see all these pictures of all the locks that you guys have pick make me just want to sit at home and pick locks all day. Thank you all for the info.

Some of these photos and post make me want to throw all my lock stuff away and watch TV. How sad. I hold out hope because I do get a bit better with time and effort. Funny how that works,,,,,

ps: Very nice work on that keyway. My first thought would be a drill. Glad you brought it to its knees,

Great job. I remember my first American lock, and it was an awesome feeling. I wasn't on any boards yet and wanted to share it with someone... so I showed it to my wife. She said: "Wow honey, that's really great" in the same tone of voice that I would tell my 4 y/o son, "yes, that stick really is neat." I just walked away.

Keep at it. Picking on American locks taught me a great deal about picking.

Ha, I get the same thing from my wife . To her credit, she will listen to my exhaustively technical explanation of how the lock I just opened works, and why I'm excited...every once in a while, I can get an "okay, that actually is really cool" out of her.

I think we all need to thank this forum or better yet our wives need to because otherwise we would be boring them with our lock victory stories lol.
