RE: In the market for a new set of picks.
Haha, that's nice. I just thought of checking your family's blogs and now I'm excited to find out about your lockpicking. Nice. :)
I have tried lockpicking too when I was in my twenties but I did not have the patience (and the necessary motor control?) for it. I knew a group who trained regularly so did not feel that comfortable failing ... I have a little set of picks but I didn't use it afterwards (i.e. for about 17 years).
It's nice to see you again!
I find single pin picking difficult. That does take a lot of fine motor skill. I prefer raking, If I can, but that doesn't work on them all. If you ever decide to try your hand at it again, here are some nice cut away, and see through locks, so you can see what's going on inside when you practice.
I was thinking about getting a cut away for the kids, myself. @caprisun decoded her first combination lock by feel last night, matter of fact. Only took her about 5 minutes. I was impressed! Haha!
I have learned last week that there are transparent locks one can buy. Well. I might give it a new start next year. We'll see ... :)
