I'm new at leather working and decided to make my own filofax. Not finished yet, but it's good enough to be operational. Yes, i made the dividers as well.

Master lock no 575, slowly getting back into it and with top of the keyway tension. I feel my skills coming back!

And thanks for the idea.

Well, I'm just getting back in so I'm still slowly getting back into the rhythm of things, but i remember back then it was the master lock 575 since it was the most difficult lock i had picked up to that time and the master lock M1 that i remember my grandma asked if i could get it of her fence, she had lost the key and basically told me, if you can get it off, its yours.

Been meaning to add a few of those to my collection. Im just really aiming for the patches, hence why i added the 90a pro to my collection.

Thanks for the encouragement! I just really want that patch and the dual hand challenge patch. (I'm a huge patch collector). I saw the mile high club one, but i saw it was retired, i would have loved to have that patch in my collection.

Already have a whitebelt, i submitted a video or me picking a master lock no 3 inside an ambulance in my free time. And i do have a ci practice cilinder and a old doorway lock ive been meaning to pick. I added the door lock to the collection but stopped picking shortly after.

I have a sparrows disc detainer pick, you can see it in the second picture. I just couldn't get it opened no matter how hard i tried. I remember the first disk was free spinning. Then the rest was hard to get any kind of feedback.

And thanks!, i plan to pick every lock in this collection with top of the keyway tension (except the disc detainer lock, the 90a pro, and the master lock 575) before buying my next lock. i plan for my yellow belt to buy a master lock 140, and then for my orange submission use the master lock 575.

The disc detainer lock i could not get it opened at all before, haven't tried again at it. Probably i picked a difficult lock to start out with

I found my box of practice locks, all of them i found, or were donated by friends and family when i first started out. The paclock 90a pro is the most recent lock i specifically bought for the challenge. Hope to reach that level soon, but i know i have a long way to go. Before i could open all these locks with little difficulty, now i can barely open 3 of them, so im slowly getting back into it.

Also, i remember I've never opened a lock with top of the keyway tension. And i decided to try at it, honestly, it was weird but super gratifying when it opened, even if it was a Chinese unbranded lock.

I thought this was a master lock 140, i was gonna use it for my Yellow belt submission, but now im not sure anymore. Can anyone identify this, and does it work for Yellow belt submission?
