minus-squarePulptastic@midwest.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up8·7 months agoI feel like I need someone to teach me in person. I’ve watched videos, read articles, I understand the science but can’t get the feel.
minus-squareMrShankles@reddthat.comlinkfedilinkarrow-up4·7 months agoHave you tried a clear practice lock to pick? You can watch the pins as you get the feel for it. Once you can pick it easily, cover it with painter’s tape so you can’t see the pins, and try again.
