So, mittens and i got in a lot of ~70 lock cylinders in yesterday and i decided to repin them into a nice training set. The first set is from 1-5 pins using a kw1 keyway. The second set is from 2-5 pins using a sc1 keyway, but the drivers have been replaced with serrated pins. Once i get more spool pins in, i will be making another set in with spools so those can be trained on. There will be another sc1 keyway with 6 serrated pins this afternoon. Let me know what you guys think
Here is how they look right now:

That is how to learn quickly. That is the way I've learned on basic locks, spools and with American locks.

Looks good! Did you have a pin kit, or just take pins out of the existing locks?

don't have a pin kit, just emptied all the cylinders, mixed and matched the key pins. I can always use a pin kit, its a task for the future. For the advanced, i purchased a pack of 100 serrated pins from clksupplies.com and filled the cylinders up. It is a lot of fun. My next order there i need to get more spool pins as well.

That's excellent. That was a good buy.

Any suggestions on pin combinations that would be easy , medium , and then advanced?

i bought 20 lock cylinders from ebay and made a few progressive pin kits to learn on
