Re: Members Say Hi
Im new here (Forgive me for my poor grammar and spelling). I wanted to drop in and introduce myself. My name is Benjamin, im 30 years old and I just got out of the Army. I got a job at a small Ace Hardware recently and have spent some time making keys for customers. I gradually got more interested in locks and how they work. I went from cutting keys once in a while to watching lots of Lock picking lawyer and Bosnian bill videos on YouTube. Needless to say I got dragged into this hobby. So, I went on amazon and got my first set of clear practice locks and picks, It was a DISASTER. The tolerances are horrible and the picks are sharp and flimsy (from what I have read that's not desired?). Anyways, I bought a set of Southord Picks as well got permission to take a few junk locks from work home, I have made my way through 3 and one USPS lock I found on the ground outside my apartment. I also acquired a American Locks 1100 that I have had no luck with. I decided to get the Sparrow Revolver and am waiting on it to get here, once I learn and conquer that I will be moving up to Mr Wizards Supermax. Anything that can help me get more involved and/or learn more would be great.
Anyways, Thanks for letting me be a part of your community and allowing me to introduce myself.
