Okay, this is one hard frickin' lock to pick. I have taken some time to get skilled, picking in hand. Then, filming the video called for the vise, which added a new layer of difficulty. Either way, I do finally get it cracked, and we have a look at the very tricky Assa pins.

This one has had me fighting for some time, and is finally ready. Open occurs at 11:50. But, you will miss the witty repartee! Just a preview - one pin looks like the Stanley cup! Thanks for checking it out.")

Im still not done shopping for antiques. Got some more unique ones to show. Then, we pick a WiseLock, with some very unusual replacements for plain old pin-tumbler technology. #lockpicking #locksport #antiquepadlocks

Got this lock a short time ago. Because the levers are not arranged like a typical lock, I could not figure out how to pick it. Then, I found this recent pick from Bosnianbill. I applied his technique, and got an open! I could not wait to share this with you all! Here is the video that helped me out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w0K9QSCsvyQ")

I finished up cleaning the locks from my last package video, and also picked open the Corbin Lever Lock. The Sargent still has its aging. But, my cleanup brought out the beauty.")

Got this one in my last package from Chris Capune. Surprisingly, this had a slew of master wafers. But, they were mostly used to bring the key to plump up the key pins to hit the shear line. Very interesting, with well made serrated spools. What a fun pick!")

Jason likes to name his locks after cool substances, Like Tritium and Thorium. I had to get the one named HERPES. Picked and gutted for your pleasure.")

Once I completed the cleanup in the first of the twin Sargents, I saw the stark contrast between them. And, I wanted to show off the newly cleaned up one, with working key!")
