Re: Beginner Locks to buy?
When I have time because as you will know living in Scotland this sudden burst of fantastic weather like its 10 C and not raining means I have been forced outdoors to build a fence, anyhow what I am going to do is put the sal/40 aside for a bit and get the cutaway I have (euro style) and put only a couple of spool pins in so I can get a better feel for them and then go back to the sal/40 later, I think thats what is defeating me for the moment.
Interesting what you say about popping the sal 3 times and then no more I have a cheap 4 pin padlock which I managed in the first week I took up this hobby, then for weeks after couldnt manage it, someone on here suggested `go put it away for a week` and then come back to it, I did, and have been able to pick it ever since. Its now my comfort lock, when I get frustrated and cant manage something like the sal/40 I pick old faithful to keep the confidence going.
