BosnianBill, you will be missed! Thank you for all the excellent content over the years. At least I can go back and watch your videos looking for gutting disasters and your cat scratched hands. Enjoy retirement my friend.
The flying wrench. We say that's good luck. Steel Pinnings has a great channel. If you haven't seen it you should. He's in my group of very close pickers.
Austin Stubblefield This just popped in my feed. The title threw me off I said lemme see what's goin on here... I never paid attention to the machining much before or really gave it a thought. but wow this stuff is small 😬 I like to tinker and wouldn't mind knowing how to pick my lock when I've left my house keys at work😂..... For something else educational, may I reciprocate and suggest wastewater treatment(gee thanks I just ate😕)...it's actually an interesting process
great introduction. THANKS .i thank that pad lock has made the rounds .but it finely hit big league.he makes a great lock and pins from all videos i watch.always great video Bill. THANKS FOR SHOWING😎😎😎
I picked my first padlock today ! it is a 2 dollar flea market lock. looks like a master number1 but has high security printed on the rubber piece. My dangerfield praxis kit arrived just minutes before picking it ! First kit and first lock, TODAY WAS A GOOD DAY.
Both are very much so subjective with what is more for you. But please try out every avenue of Lock Manipulation. Find what best suits you, I found that I like to use some of everything. From Raking, Wriggling, Zipping, Rocking, Bitching, Bipassing and whatever else I can come up with in a snap. Happy Pickin!!
I dont often comment on videos but that is not to say that i dont enjoy them, so i think its high time i at least said thank you for the hard work you put into making them and keep up the good work. all the best, martin
Does a sloppy core always equal security pins? I've got a ML M5 that's terribly sloppy and frustrating, but I'm pretty sure there's no security pins, are there?
Thanks again, Bill! Starting my Lock Smithing course in just a few weeks now, I'll pass with ease in part to you! A couple of ideas for you. Have you thought about connecting a monitor up to your camera so you aren't straining with the little LCD display? I think also the camera, if it's like mine, has trouble focusing if there's more than 40% background to foreground ratio. What I learned to do to get it to refocus was bring the objects way in, like too close, and then out again. This deals with the foreground/background issue promptly. Thanks again for keeping your videos regular, learned so much from them in such a short time. I cant wait to send you a challenge lock!
John Baker This will be Mechanical Engineering Certificate II here at TAFE NSW in Sydney. I already have 95% of Certificate III as I'm a Toolmaker, so 80% of it should cancel out and I just have to do the locksmith specific modules. Passing this one with full distinctions if my expectations are accurate.
Hey bosnianbill, im about to invest in a lockpick set and wanted to go with the sparrows eod (and i havent picked basically ever before) but i also wanted to be able to single pick if i needed to, i live in australia and can you reccommend me a good yet not $400 set for me?
Zerobrine /anon the southord 14 or the tuxedo are great, southord is probably better for new pickers you just cannot break em but once you get better get some sparrows single picks and a case from them
The sparrows EOD kit is nice, and so is the new Dark shift. Either will serve you well and, even better, are available in Australia from the authorized sparrows dealer, Pickpals. Postage in Australia and NZ are apparently free!
Bill, why don't you use shims for disassembly more often? With challenge locks you often have T pins which can get stuck in the groove for the circlip and then there are the plugs that look like skeletons.
Hello Bill, French fan is here. I just received my sparrow lock pick set, and I bought a Master Lock N•150 because you always says Master locks are very easy to pick. But I can't SPP or rake it or open it with the "3 worms pick". Can you give advice please ? Thank you
The master 150 contains 4 spools and one standard pin. NOT a good lock to start with, even difficult to SPP sometimes. Get yourself a Master #3. Follow the lock picking "university" on the website and you'll learn a little faster than jumping straight to complex locks.
Clement Darchez If there are so few master padlocks in France as here... go in the next hardware or euroshop and get some of the cheap china locks however they should not cost over 5 euros, and not under 40mm, also it would be good if they are from brass and not only painted golden, the cheap Burgwächter are also quite okay to practice.Maybe you should also pay attention to the bitting of the key, so you have one with medium and a few with a different high low bitting! Greetings from Germany
So Bill, do you pass the locks on to other pickers after you pick them? Or do you keep or ebay them? Interested in getting involved in them. Nice job Steel Pinnings! *Guy's If you have not checked out Steel Pinnings channel, you really should! There are a bunch of Great guy's making and trading challenge locks around there. I have Not been able to do any trades with them yet as I have not made any yet, But if You do you might consider looking over there and the others who swap and trade there. Bunch of Great guys! Charlie
I thought it looked an awful lot like a standard American key and cylinder, compared to the dozens I've seen and worked on. But obviously, I can't be certain without seeing it.
DT Goertzen the wafer breaker set right? isn't it designed for the 700 series? I have them, you're saying it fits inside the 1100 series too? I'm going to try it thanks! lol I never even tried, as I enjoy the picking more than a bypass ( unless it's for work) but we usually use the gun for American locks
No problem. If you look up the American Lock Service Manual, close to the end is a page showing the different keyways that its padlock cylinders come in, and the Peterson bypass tools might not work in some of those keyways. Any American padlock compatible with their padlock cylinders can be set up with any of those single-sided keyways, if I'm not mistaken.
Hi Bill! I have some practice with lockpicking (little), I woud like to know if I can make a bump pick, like a car picker, it would work?? I've searched and saw one in GOSO pickset but you said this kit is junk, (Video 766), thanks greetings from BR (subscribing if answered) .. kidding subscribing now! SS! SL!
makomifune What do you mean by bump pick?? If sounds like some of the different types of rakes and wrigglers out there. But if you are looking to make a pick I say go for it. That is how most are developed.
I see what you mean, and you would only need the bottom rake if there were pins on bottom. The only locks with pins on both top and bottom besides wafer locks are zise or cross cruciform locks. But it would still work in a wafer lock.
Yea, what's up with the thumbnail. weird, didn't have anything to do with locks, which made me curious. The new intro is really bad ass. Hope you are paying that artist well!
Nice picking Bill! Almost 5 minutes steel Pinnings! Great picking and great pinning. Btw, Steel Pinnings has a good RUclips channel and I suggest that you check it out! I love watching both of you guys. Bill and Steel.
Actually it's probably because RUclips (or whatever chooses the thumbnails) decided to show the Dog. It's probably because the Dog is at the end of the video and it might have been the default setting for this. BTW The dog looks alright to me. It appears to have got wet and is shaking itself.
Dog, near water... Dogs like to swim, swimming is usually accompanied by muddy shores. Happy doggy is swimmy and muddy and is gonna be able to walk home cause he's not some chubby wubbie doggy fed so much that can't even cock its leg.
You know....If I were shooting these videos.....there would be SOOOO much swearing!
BosnianBill, you will be missed! Thank you for all the excellent content over the years. At least I can go back and watch your videos looking for gutting disasters and your cat scratched hands. Enjoy retirement my friend.

Thanks Bobby,
And the Flying Wrench is
just that... Good Luck. lol
again, youre really getting good at describing what youre feeling and doing in here, thanks a lot!
I saw his video for a beginner lockpick set and I haven't stopped watching these all day lol. Amazing work!

Amazing Picking & Video Bill & Very Cool Lock 🔐 Steel Pinnings...! Keep up the great work. Nick.
I laughed at the flying wrench... 😂😂😂😂

Steel Pinnings I didnt have any luck racking LoL. I reckin that will come later.

Finally, a selfie of Bill, there in the intro. Reason for not focusing today, is the camera is still hung over from New Year's Eve partying.
Does a sloppy core always equal security pins? I've got a ML M5 that's terribly sloppy and frustrating, but I'm pretty sure there's no security pins, are there?
Nice picking Mr.Bill

Thanks john baker and bosnianbill, ill check them out
Thanks Bill
Thanks for the videos bill great way to end a day
I love those locks One day I hope you get a Alicia tool For American 1100
good job Bill, good looking pins Steel Pinnings
Bill, why don't you use shims for disassembly more often? With challenge locks you often have T pins which can get stuck in the groove for the circlip and then there are the plugs that look like skeletons.
Atlanta I'm not the only one that picks his own wrench out of the keyway and sends it flying

Nice job bill
does anyone know where to get a nice vise like bill uses?
domjubgwefer eBay search panavise
See the description. It is a panavise 350.
@@bosnianbill Great for soldering too. Has multiple uses. Many attachments and is built to last.
So Bill, do you pass the locks on to other pickers after you pick them? Or do you keep or ebay them? Interested in getting involved in them.
Nice job Steel Pinnings!

I usually give them away at some point.
I have the creeper sparrows set but I don't know what the picks are made of. Can anybody help me please?
LockedLogic thanks. that's all I need
Holy Moly, I LIKE that inro Sir.
Bill, seriously... who does these bad-ass intros for your videos?
Regarding that anti-bypass wafer, Peterson makes a 3-piece wafer breaker kit. I've used it, and it works well.
DT Goertzen but they are too big to fit inside this particular key way
I thought it looked an awful lot like a standard American key and cylinder, compared to the dozens I've seen and worked on. But obviously, I can't be certain without seeing it.
DT Goertzen the wafer breaker set right? isn't it designed for the 700 series? I have them, you're saying it fits inside the 1100 series too?

Ooh, perhaps it's time to purchase and use a contact microphone, to really amp up those clicks for us!?
Where do you find all those cool video intros ?!!
May I ask why the thumbnail? Love your vids
This is the biggest challenge at American and master locks to prevent the flying wrench..
nicely done!!
Nice job Bill. I think you got lucky you didn't get 1 of his other locks.
Hi Bill! I have some practice with lockpicking (little), I woud like to know if I can make a bump pick, like a car picker, it would work??

makomifune
What do you mean by bump pick??
If sounds like some of the different types of rakes and wrigglers out there.
But if you are looking to make a pick I say go for it.
That is how most are developed.
makomifune Look at his "How to kinetic attack" video. This uses the same principle as bump keys, except picks are used instead of a key.
I mean like this img.photobucket.com/albums/v47/MadMick/Bogota7.jpg but one side straight, the one I said is in video 766 at 4:59
Couldn't find the one you said.. link?
I see what you mean, and you would only need the bottom rake if there were pins on bottom. The only locks with pins on both top and bottom besides wafer locks are zise or cross cruciform locks. But it would still work in a wafer lock.
finally a padlock
Yea, what's up with the thumbnail. weird, didn't have anything to do with locks, which made me curious. The new intro is really bad ass. Hope you are paying that artist well!
i almost missed the video in my sub box cause of the thumbnail lol.
Holy shit, that intro looks awesome and also amazing.
I'll keep looooookiiiiinng :)
Nice picking Bill! Almost 5 minutes steel Pinnings! Great picking and great pinning. Btw, Steel Pinnings has a good RUclips channel and I suggest that you check it out! I love watching both of you guys. Bill and Steel.
Cool stuff.
The guy at the beginning reminded me of halo
Nice Pick :)
Wouw Super dit
Cool intro....
all those serrateds and spools and no undercuts or countermilling. lame
why is the thumbnail a starved and abused dog?
Probably the same reason that the intros are rivalling THX levels of presence, just because.
nodvick
Haha I said the same thing...
It's the first lock of mine and I get the wooped Dog. lol
Actually it's probably because RUclips (or whatever chooses the thumbnails) decided to show the Dog. It's probably because the Dog is at the end of the video and it might have been the default setting for this. BTW The dog looks alright to me. It appears to have got wet and is shaking itself.
OlagGan
if it looks all-right to you, I really hope you don't own a dog. It is far too skinny and it's legs show signs of poorly-healed injuries.
Dog, near water... Dogs like to swim, swimming is usually accompanied by muddy shores. Happy doggy is swimmy and muddy and is gonna be able to walk home cause he's not some chubby wubbie doggy fed so much that can't even cock its leg.
ok... 30 seconds intro.... is... let's call it a bit running
Your intro today was a little dramatic
Why has he got so many intros wtf?
Dawn Code because he can,they are made by tribe members for him
I think they're massively overkill for anything, especially lockpicking.
They are in the software package his editor uses. I think it's fine. Keeps it interesting and not expensive or difficult.
what? first? weird....
nope, fourth
humph!
second
first
nope, second
