Just learned the second oldest locksmith in america is in my city. Paid a visit and left with a couple locks

75IB/40 picked! Still unranked, still a pain in the ass. After getting the 50, I decided to try the 40 again

Bought the 40 on accident looking for another blue lock, not realizing it was unranked. The 50 has a much larger keyway. Just happy I finally conquered it, back to the naughty bin it goes!

FINALLY. Had a serious sit-down with my Abus 75IB and got my first dimple lock! Had issues figuring out how to get the flag in and learning what floating is.

Getting used to the feel of this lock is going to be something. Just happy I got my first open. Any tips are welcome if you got em!

I just wanted to give a big thanks to the community members who put their own time and money into making these challenges.

I know there are others but that's who I'm aware of and spoken too. Y'all are the best. I haven't been in this hobby long, but I know things like this keep the hobby challenging, refreshing, and rewarding. We're a lucky bunch to have people like y'all! Thanks again!

Mail call(sorta). Grabbed a couple beers with LockPickingEngineer and got my chips for the one handed challenge! Love this community and hobby.

Does anyone know if the blue whale challenge is still going? If you've submitted recently have you heard back?

I submitted a video 2 weeks ago on discord but haven't heard anything, wondering if I did it incorrectly? I may also just be impatient.

Messing around with the 90A-Pro last night and popped it! Now I just need to practice and film it eventually.

Two weeks into the hobby. Picked 2 72/40s back to back! Still struggling to pick my masterlock 150 though
