New picker (sort of)
I'm sort of new to picking - I used to do it casually in high school, but never got any good - and I have a couple of dumb questions. Hopefully someone answer them or direct me to the appropriate sub:
1. I started up again about a month ago, and being a bit more serious this time around, I'm actually improving somewhat. In fact, I've picked the best that my local hardware store has to offer, so I'm looking for some more challenging locks. What is the best (and hopefully most economical) place to find good practice locks?
2. I've been working with what I picked up almost twenty years ago now, and while they're functional, I definitely need a few upgrades. What is a good place to purchase tools? For starters, an .050 tension bar would be immensely helpful.
For reference, this is the best lock that I found locally:
Thanks.
