Hanging out with my girlfriend, making locksport challenge boxes for the upcoming conference next week 😁
6 padlocked doors, 6 prize-filled compartments.

I received a coinbox full of lock pins, so I designed a sorter for them. Inspired by the much larger bolt sorters. Use tape to join the lid. Because of their size, they don't roll easily so grab each pin by tweezers and slide them across to get the right length, then drop them into the appropriate hole. It's quicker than calipers. The openscad file is included if you want to make changes. I've included PinSorter.stl if you want to try rolling them.
And I'm mostly posting this so that I can find it again later, but this shop seems like a fun place to find locksport bits.
I might go for their Berserker lock set at some point (it's just 5 random locks to shake up your usual routine, which sounds fun).
Both my sets of lock tools are now complete.
The slightly longer, chunkier ones are a Law Lock Tools set which I'm very lucky to have, as it ended up being triple gauge due to the owner being an absolute gentleman and giving me some free hooks due to a shipping error and subsequent return.
The ones in the two separate pouches are Mario and Luigi, my Multipick set that I put together from two sets of random add ons not meant to be a set, and then buying individual bits.
And my May/June lock haul. I've already picked the Abus and the American Lock, but I'm leaving the Kasp for another day.
I actually started picking the Abus before I even checked if the lock worked (I had a huge dark night of the soul a few weeks ago after I got an American Lock 1100 that I 'couldn't' pick. It turned out that it was broken, and I spent 3 days convincing myself I'd forgotten how to pick locks before even bothering to try the key in it.)
I picked my first pin-tumbler lock today!
Granted, it’s a practice lock with only a single pin in it, but…hey! At least I learned the basics.
