Tumblers

Having recently watched a super-informative video on how to pick a lock, I was inspired to try and learn how to do so.

I figured that it was a useful skill to have. But I have no Bobby pins, nor a practice lock. Oh well then, I guess I can try it out on a simpler lock first.

I made myself the two-part lock pick by breaking apart two paperclips at my workspace. Although they aren't as sturdy as Bobby pins, they should still work on simpler locks which require less tension to twist.

I'll probably try some of the locks back home when I return this weekend. The padlock at the hostel is way too heavy and intricate.

Here's to another side project to feed my eccentricity.
