Hello from the Desert South West
I've been wanting to get into locksport for several years now, but have been seriously short on time.
Recovering from spine surgery has finally given me the time needed; I've been picking at least 8 hours per day since March 1st, and will be able to continue to do so until the end of May. I must say that it has been very entertaining.
I knew a year in advance that I would have an extended recovery period after the surgery, so I spent that time preparing. I've watched just about all 1,000+ BosnianBill videos (as well as other youtube lockpickers) and read everything I could get my hands on.
My setup is still growing. Right now I have The Essential 12 set from TOOOL, the Dangerfield PRAXIS kit, a few various Peterson picks, and a few MultiPicks on order from Oz. As for locks... not much. A few padlocks, two Ultimate Adversary mortise cylinders, and a bunch of kik's from Peterson.
Wow, I imagine this is some boring reading, so I'll just finish up by saying "HI", and what a fun sport this is.
