Thank God my job is easy. It affords me the time to pick locks for my whole shift.

Thanks Bezza.. They are all pretty easy locks. The EM-D-KAY's took a little while to finish and a few of the CCL (Corbin Cabinet Lock Co.) wafer lock-out Locks hung up on me a few times.. But I like picking any lock I can get my hands on. My favorite lock outta all of these is the Brown rusty looking Corbin next to the EM-D-KAY's. I dunno why but I love that lock.


BTW. Those picks on the left are my home brews.. I hope to put pics up of them tomorrow. They were up in the home brew section before the catastrophic event on Keypicking.. The event of which we do not speak. And I hope to make more soon too.. Come to think of it, I could use some dimple picks.

Those are CCL Single-Sided Wafer padlocks.. At one time they were used for equipment lockout because they have these blue and white labels on them with the operators name. I really don't know much else about them, but I sure have a lot of them.

The larger one is a work radio it's an old school Motorola. My smaller one with the stubby antenna is my Yaesu vx-7r Ham radio. I am a Ham as well (got my FCC license) but I'm not really active. I mainly use this radio as a true dual reciever for two local police frequencies while I'm at work. It works great for my needs. I also have 2 scanners not in the picture because I'm kind of an enthusiast and I like to know whats going on around me.

I would like to see more pictures of your home-brew picks. Can you provide details on their construction?
