Frustrating first day! But funny

Ok I've been watching utube (thanks lockpicklawyer, and boss bill of lock-lab) ordered my first pick set; Peterson Kent's picks. And a pos clear lock. Went through my locks and found 2 master and an old Uhaul 85/50. Well, clear lock sucks, but gave me a feel and visual (helped a lot actually). Then the masters, popped them with spp and was feeling awesome and started to feel the pins and order they catch in!
So I looked at the old u haul lock I bought in the mid 1990's and thought cool I'll try this next. Now I've watched enough Utube and read a few articles and books that I have some idea of what's going on. So, 2hrs into trying the $รท&_<[(**#&# thing and thinking OK what's wrong, and wow did that drop into a false set on a cheep lock, so I look up the lock. Low and behold this is a good lock. Lol. Now I have a not yet pile started.
BTW, I'm hooked and have ordered some feeler stock to build some picks (I also build some knives.) And am looking forward to the challenge.
Thank you for all the good information. Now I'm hooked
