Hi Bill, Just finished making your very cool lock picking sets from scratch. Within 1/2 Hr, I had picked my fist lock (Master Lock) I will keep trying over and over, till I can feel what you talk about. Feeling each pin and or false sets. Thanks for your lessons. Your a great teacher.
love to try! I recently found a master 930/6230, brought it home ,picked it and made a key for it. Thanks to your teaching style, made it all possible! Thanks Bill.
I'd like to see you do some videos of lockpicking in real-life situations, not just at a bench all the time. Things like picking a door from the outside in the elements (wind/rain/snow), a padlock the the bottom of a fence, etc.
+Rhyno186 Watch more videos. This is a hobby. One of the rules is that you dont pick anything that is 'in use' or 'not yours'. (Cause its illegal and you could brake a pick in it and not be able to open it anymore.)
No, that's true, and I believe that NASA did most of its calculations in metric, as many scientists do. Many systems do not make sense, such as the English measuring system, AC power, and NTSC video framerates. Many of these are either invented to avoid the need to replace large chunks of infrastructure norms or are not replaced with newer, better things due to the cost that would take. To replace the English measuring system in the US would be feasible, but would also mean replacing or updating a lot of infrastructure. It could be done, but we're happy with the current system, and used to it, so why spend the money to change it? On the flip side, the fact that there are two different measuring systems did crash a orbiter into Mars. In 1999, the calculations for the thrust of a Mars orbiter were done in the English system (by a contractor), and system (by NASA) expected them in Metric. So, without the proper prior conversion, the orbiter held a lower trajectory than it should have and spiraled into Mars' surface due to computation error. Both systems work fine, and work together as long as they are converted properly. However, people do have to be specific. How messy is the English system? We do of course adjust how we use our measuring system to simplify it. We rarely ever convert miles to yards or inches, rather measuring long distances in feet or miles, typically. Yards are for fractions of a mile where it is more convenient to measure in yards than feet, such as 200yds vs 600ft, or 10yds vs 30ft, but still not really used that much. We don't use furlongs or fathoms any more, and 1/16 of an inch are easier to read than a millimeter, and both 1/32 and 1/64 of an inch are finer than a millimeter. Ounces, cups, pints, quarts, and gallons make sense, because they are all some multiple of two of each other, though dry measures are just confusing and cooks who cut a lot of butter are some of the few who know how many teaspoons go into a cup. There are that many common measures for weight, so they are easy to memorize, and by the time you have the English system down it's not too much more to learn some basic conversions to metric. Yes, the English system is confusing. It is outdated. However, it's also kind of nice to use if you're used to it, because the size of the measures just seem more natural, whereas the common Metric measures to Americans (or at least to me) mostly seem too err on the small side, such as mL, g, km, kmh, and cm. The foot is a better length than the cm or dm, the lb more natural than kg, and mph less speedy than kmh. Some of that is due to being used to the English system, and some of that is because the English system was developed by common measure, whereas the Metric system was developed as a scientific and mathematical construct. In the end it does boil down to preference, but there is a difference in that the Metric is more practical for math and the English is more practical for cooking and common measures.
Master lock #21 is also a laminated removable core lock. I have 1 that I have been working on for months now and have only managed a false set. I have 15 locks now and it is the only one that I can't open yet.
as a beginner lock picker it woukd be nice to have a goal to work toward something super difficult that I know is achievable. I definitely want this lock.
Woah that's awesome! I didn't think master lock made a removable core pad lock. I would love to get this lock, to try picking this crazy contraption and practice different setups with it. If I can find one of these locks in store, I'll buy a few of them just for the removable cores. Great video bill and congrats on making over 800 videos!
I doubt I could pick it in the next year, I am brand new to this but I need some practice locks and as you said it just isn't worth buying $10 to pick and forget.
Interesting pity master don't listen.
I'd love to try that out. Also, FYI, the master 29 is similar to that, but much bigger. It's worth taking a look at.

Due to the way these videos are shot, any time he's trying to get it to focus I'm half expecting him to say "focus you faack".
Lol AVE
Loebane you must be an AvE fan as well. lol

+Rhyno186 Watch his videos picking while riding a bike. Awsome stuff!

That's how a Master lock should be made! Well done on your persistence. 3 times a charm!
"weird metric one"? lol dude..
1 mile = 1.760 yard= 5.280 feet = 63.360 inches
1 km = 1000 m = 10.000 dm = 100.000 cm = 1.000.000 mm
+JohnGribbin Thank you! hahah
I highly doubt the imperial measuring system allowed the US to send a man to the moon and a rover to Mars, to be completely honest.

THey crashed a Rover on Mars because one shop was using metric and the other was using imperial.
A true beauty! I would be honored to learn it's secrets. TheLockButcher did a wonderful job!
Master betrayed us. Wicked. Tricksy. False.
LOVE the banjo waiting music. Nice work opening this lock and your sense of timing AND humor always make for an enjoyable video!
Pick me Monty ....I'll master that lock.
Thanks Bill, I have always found your picking videos instructive and entertaining.
no way I open that, but will comment just in case ;D
Have confidence in yourself! You CAN do it with a little practice.
I almost shit my pants laughing when you just randomly said "sounds like my neighbor is in his yard beating a drum".
best looking Master Lock I've seen in a long time! I need it!
I love the recent filler music during the sped up portions of the videos. Highly entertaining!
the first master I'd be proud to have in my collection! great video Bill.
I love the honesty of Bill. he could have totally claimed this was his first try
I am a newb at picking, I'd like to give this lock a try. thanks you Bill.
Fab lock! All Masters should be made like this.
That great music came on again, and I thought ~oh no, not again! Nicely done.
Master lock #21 is also a laminated removable core lock. I have 1 that I have been working on for months now and have only managed a false set. I have 15 locks now and it is the only one that I can't open yet.
loving the piece of the master lock on the key ring.
Looks like fun to pick that beast!!
as a beginner lock picker it woukd be nice to have a goal to work toward something super difficult that I know is achievable. I definitely want this lock.
That's the first I've seen like that. Cool deceptive padlock!
I think that this is best Master lock i have seen so far.
I'm liking the new fast forward sound track.
Nice little Master Lock key chain decoration there.
Very nicely picked Bill. Love the Master lock key chain too.
Totally loving the master lock key chan. I love the lock too.
a master lock worth using to keep something safe great job bill
Would love this! First and last time anyone says that about a master lock....
I have to try this lock. I should give it to some master sales reps I know and tell them this is how you should build them.
Finally a "MASTER" lock. Thanks for all the great videos.
Woah that's awesome! I didn't think master lock made a removable core pad lock. I would love to get this lock, to try picking this crazy contraption and practice different setups with it. If I can find one of these locks in store, I'll buy a few of them just for the removable cores. Great video bill and congrats on making over 800 videos!
Looks like it'd be a lot of fun to try to get that lock picked.
Wow. Master done masterfully! Nice pick.
Talk about a sleeper lock... Who would expect that? I've never seen a laminated lock with a removable core, very cool. Great pickin' Bill
I would absolutely love to have that lock Bill.
Never thought I'd see the words Master and AWESOME in the same title of one of your videos! I'll take it.
Wow.......so master locks CAN be good (with a lot of help!) Thanks for the videos!
Love it ! Thank you for the free education!!
How tough a master lock should be... would love to give it a try.
New picker here. I am still having trouble picking anything but Master Locks. This lock would be an interesting challenge. Love your videos.
I am just learning this hobby, this would be a great training lock.
Would be keen to try this out with my new pick-set, bought my first ever the other day after only recently getting hooked on your fascinating videos.
I got a strong feeling to put my pick in this thing. Greetings from germany.
Master lock should definitely take notes on this
Amazing what a few tweaks can do to a lock like this.
Master should be taking funking notes, you're basically doing their homework for them!
Great video! Thanks for all that you do and all that you teach us!
The music cracked me up! I'd love to get my hands on that lock
Nice looking Master. Looks like fun.
This must be the best master lock I've seen thanks to it being repined.
Nice piece of work. Would love to get my hands on that thing.
i like it , we dont see a lot of removable core padlocks in the uk and i think this one would look good in my collection.
Looks like you had some fun getting into this one.
Nice job! I love how you just throw everything! Hahaha
That's a sweet lock. What a nice job.
Not a bad setup at all. Nice job and well done!
Never thought I'd ever be asking for a Master.
Finally, a laminated Master with a good core!
Thanks Bill
I need a Master like this in my life.
I have to get that one. I have two of the best master locks now and this would really be a great addition!
This would be so much fun to pick!
thats a nice lock master needs to hire that man
Looks like a great challenge lock for intermediate pickers, I'd love to take a crack at this one
Nice TheLockButcher love it....Can't get enough of it..
Sweet lock bill, I can't imagine what you'll do to it!
I'd LOVE to get my hands on that lock!
That lock looks like a fun one to work with
WOW, a Master Lock with a replaceable core?! I wonder how long they made these locks. I would love to have this as a part of my collection!
fingers crossed. This one looks fun to pick :)
A re-pinable master, gonna have to buy one if I don't win it. Keep up the good work!
Looks nicely made for a change
Cool, haven't seen that master before. At least it looks like a challenge.
I wouldn't mind giving it a shot!
I laughed so hard when that music came on again! Cool little lock, would love to own it! Awesome job Bill, I knew it was no match for the Pick'King
I love the music when Bill speeds the vid up
That will go very well with my master lock collection.
Wow! That's the first master I'd like to own!
I doubt I could pick it in the next year, I am brand new to this but I need some practice locks and as you said it just isn't worth buying $10 to pick and forget.
love the master lock keyring.
Looks like it's a bit more of a challenge than the 3 Master locks I've got at home, it would be fun to give it a go.
brand new to lock picking would love to have to practice on
Great video. It's always *fascinating* to watch you work.
Where did you learn cerrajería anyhow, if it's not uncool to ask?
LOL @ the free tattoo. I will however happily take a supporting member card. :) Good lock, challenges make life interesting.
im looking to learn how to pick basic locks like this, what company would you recommend to buy some quality lock picking tools from? thanks!
I would be honored to take a crack at it.
That's a nice lock, BTW those weird screws in Rukos and the like, over here in Denmark they use them for just about everything, even wood-screws !
Very cool. I'd love to give that one a try.
This is the only Master lock I would use.
It would be perfect for my Master lock collection.
It would make a good final test lock for the learning kit.
I wouldn't mind givin it a shot.
A good Master Lock? Ohhhh myyyy, I'd like to see that.
AWESOME video. Would love that challenge!
I would love the chance to try and pick this one!
