Excellent picking Bill!! Really glad you like the pick roll and enjoyed the locks :-) The relief cuts are there to create an exaggerated deeper false set (it really does work!!) Thank you for the kind words my friend and great video as always :-))
Im not sure how I got onto this channel but I got slightly addicted. After a while I bought a pick set and a few locks to practice with. Most are scarily easy, others are more involved. My housemate has "borrowed" my picks and locks and is equally oddly addicted to it. Having done a few myself, I can relate to the skill involved. Cheers Bill for a new hobby!
I just now realized that it is Bosnian Bill. I though it was Bonsai (tiny tree) Bill. I was looking at that pick case like "what an idiot". I am going to crawl in a hole now...
Hey bill I have picked my first lock for my neighbor he locked himself out. THANK YOU FOR TEACHING ME HOW!!! What do I have to do to get a challenge lock from you. I have entered all your drawings and even donate once. I don't have friends or anyone else that's into lock picking around me. I have even tried going to my local locksmith he told me to not even try to learn. Thank you for your time. Eric Doty.
Yes he was that's why I'm looking for someone to send me a lock I have bought every different lock I could find at Walmart including house, deadbolts, trailer tongue and padlocks
PickME 1977 does some quality stitching - really nicely done on that "burrito " lock pick case. Love the addition of the custom logo too. Amazing job PickME ! You may also know this guy from his famous dragon pins..... he's the guy who created them, and nobody knows HOW he does it. He's a great challenge lock maker. Really enjoy your video Bill ... have learned lots from ya.
Lock Pickin' Magician actually trekmaster30 does know how. in fact he made a dragon and sent it to pickme who recently picked it on camera but he won't come off the secret either...
Fantastic videos! Bill often uses picks with the thickness embossed on the end; and he says they're from 'the practice kit'. Does anyone know where these picks come from?
#3 key pin looked to be pin in pin as well, you have the top serration, then there looks to be a small gap from where the pin is narrowed to slide into the next part.
Just had another sadistic thought, *no idea* how it would work and if it would work. A pin with a groove machined in and slotted into the groove a clip that just floats so it wiggles and wobbles in the groove. Combine that with a threaded chamber...
Pickaholic thats how I understand it. it doesnt really mean anything coming from me but im pretty sure a remember that being said in somebodys video...
Bill, I have had a problem several times of my subscription to your channel disappearing and having to re subscribe occasionally. I also don't see your videos in my sub feed sometimes. I'm sure I'm missing other channels too but I can't remember everything I was subbed to since yours is the only channel I follow every single video on.
I don't understand why people are freaking out about youtube's alert system being broken. I mean, it is, and that's an issue, but there is literally a whole section of the website dedicated entirely to your subscriptions. Just go there if you want to see if someone uploaded a video. Is it really that hard?
Teth47, Some people never learn how to use the site apart from the home page (let alone how to google things) so it's not bad to address that kind of problems. I even have a little response premade for those who ask, we are a community after all and is better if we can help each other without judging.
locks are a lot like people. some will open up to you instantly if you Scrub them the right way while others refuses to give you any feedback no matter how much you are picking on them :)
the last thing in the world i would do myself is click that notification bell on the channels i am subscribed to, i don't need 100+ notifications a day and my subscriptions box works fine (i have actually gone through my subscriptions to see if i have missed any videos in my feed more than once, over 200 subscriptions and i recoznize the recent videos from everyone even if i haven't watched them, because i wasn't interested at the time). i seem to be blind to this subscription box problem, but given the way that it has died down i suspect it has more to do with user error than anything else. your front page, what you get when you type "youtube.com" is not your subscription box/feed. i think allot of people mistake it.
bosnianbill oh, roger that. Thank you for the advice. You have just inspired me to take up lock picking as a hobby, so I am building my tools slowly :-)

PickME 1977, Nice lock Sir, those were some crazy pins.
man, that's another nicely made challenge lock.
What's not to like about the case...they're awesome!, of course he's gunna like it...I like mine too ;)
@Pickme1977 ... any chance I could get one of those cases ?

I found bill's videos very relaxing. Also thinking about buying a pick set and practice locks :D
Robert Kowalski Its really good. Weird but good.
Welcome to the addicting hobby of LockSport!
Bill teaches us to un-bump a lock... Interesting day.
Geez, you could drive a Buick through that keyway!
UA-cam also changed the design, (at least mine was different) I managed to return to the old design by opening the options control.
I think you should send some lock bits to Taofledermaus so he can make slugs out of them.. and shoot locks with locks.
The ultimate masterkey!
PaladinFury I totally second this but they have shot lock parts before I believe
Love to watch you work. Can you show the door lock credit card shim. And why they don't work with today's lock set tongues.
Bill has to have the most robust callus on his pointer finger. Love watching your videos and i've learned so much about locks. Keep them coming!
I just now realized that it is Bosnian Bill. I though it was Bonsai (tiny tree) Bill. I was looking at that pick case like "what an idiot". I am going to crawl in a hole now...
Alway cool to see people get creative with pins. Great picking as always.

well that locksmith is a jerk
He wants no more competition.
Yes he was that's why I'm looking for someone to send me a lock I have bought every different lock I could find at Walmart including house, deadbolts, trailer tongue and padlocks
What's bad is there is only two in my town and was told that he owns both company
Ebay has them. I have noticed the vehicle barricades in a park near me have the masterlock combination lock that opens with a flat pick.
That's a really neat pick case!

There is no great secret to it. As with the pick roll, it takes advantage of something that already exists. :)
Have you ever made a video where you re-assemble the lock?
John Cabral, Yes he do:
ua-cam.com/video/j5_W1FF0c90/v-deo.html
Check his channel, or the web page he have a lot of educational videos.
Excellent job picking this Mr.Bill 🔓
I bet all that lock gunk was a mixture of dry graphite lube and wd-40. You know what they say... "Two lubes don't make a right."
PickMe1977 does indeed make some fancy pin's...and a great guy too! :)
Ineresting lock!!!!! Great pick!!!!!
Fantastic videos! Bill often uses picks with the thickness embossed on the end; and he says they're from 'the practice kit'. Does anyone know where these picks come from?
PastorDwanye
I believe it's Praxis, not practice.
#3 key pin looked to be pin in pin as well, you have the top serration, then there looks to be a small gap from where the pin is narrowed to slide into the next part.
Could those groves be to make the shear line lower so he can use an unexpectedly high cut?
Just had another sadistic thought, *no idea* how it would work and if it would work. A pin with a groove machined in and slotted into the groove a clip that just floats so it wiggles and wobbles in the groove. Combine that with a threaded chamber...
4 and 6 are cut on the top of the plug to make the false sets a little deeper no?
Pickaholic thats how I understand it. it doesnt really mean anything coming from me but im pretty sure a remember that being said in somebodys video...
Phred Phlintstoner I remember a video like that too.
The keyway is a 3000 not a 300. I'm dealing with the same keyway on an Abus 83CS/55. It's just cut that way, I don't know why.
buena demostracion sr bill
For some reason I get a dentist vibe when I watch these
Thanks Bill
Thanks Bill.
Very nice picking my friend pickme is a top guy👍😎😊😊😊
Saddly that start of the video been whipped by UA-cam's new layout.
Nice work as always.
13 layers ?

very nice. thanks for the video.
I'm a simple man i see bosnianbill upload I like
Jaa man! Nice vid as always!

Bill sell merchandise with your logo on it!
In a lot of ways, this lock is exactly like me.
IMO it's not cheating, if it's not taped.
Im getting notifications for a channel im not even subbed to. I think that's even more annoying than missing out on actual sub notifications.
Too bad PickMe1977 didn't clean that nasty gunk out of the lock before sending it.
Jay H, It's there to add character to the lock XD
Unsubscribed! Hah not really, I get all the notifications already, brave start to a video though :D
Bill, do you think this is a good starter kit?
geek.wish.com/c/583d2c8a0299bc3ee93d50d5
No, not unless you live in China and are working on Chinese car door locks. That's what is was designed for.
bosnianbill oh, roger that. Thank you for the advice. You have just inspired me to take up lock picking as a hobby, so I am building my tools slowly :-)
another dislike for damaging my ears , thanks
dime bar
Thanks Bill
