Summary
To start up a Lockpicking Sport Club
There appears to be much interest in the wonderful Sport of Lockpicking. During the space warming party on 1 August 2010, a mini-workshop was held. The interest was simply amazing and many tried their best opening the few locks which were available.
Equipment
All lockpicking equipment is currently stored in the metal cabinet in the entrance room. Feel free to leave your picks and locks here or in your box if you don't want to carry them with you.
Currently, we only have some locks (due to a very generous donation from the German Lockpicking SportClub). If anyone can come across any locks (like locks without the key), please donate them to the Hackspace.
- Locks! We need many, many more locks.
Regarding the quantity of locks, we should have at least a few hundred. This will assure that we have locks for all levels of lockpicking, from beginner's locks to locks for the more experienced.
Ideas for the new London Lockpicking Sportgroup
If you have any ideas for the lockpicking sportgroup, please pass them on, or discuss in Talk:Projects/Lockpicking
Suggestion:
- "Make your own pick set day". The grind wheel can be used to make each interested member their own pick set/ more sets for the hackspace. Very fun thing to do in my experience! -- Kal
- "Make your own pick set day" would be a lovely idea. The metal strips on windscreen wipers make great tensioners. For picks, you need to find a metal which is strong but flexible. Opening locks with your own picks is really nice :) -- t.
Pick sets
Sign up here for a pick set.
Events
The next lockpicking workshop will be on September 11, from 3 p.m. onwards.
There will be a SportShop for those who couldn't get their sportsets at the last event.
All are welcome!
