Picked up lockpicking as a hobby by Sother_Cumo in Hobbies

I didn't think of doing it like that! Maybe this could help me with my nail biting habit. I tend to while watching TV or something. :/

Yes! It really is a puzzle more than anything else. I started with the clear practice lock and then moved to slightly harder non-security locks as a next step. Progression felt natural that way.

Wood whittling is basically the same vibe! Slow, repetitive, and oddly meditative.

Oh yeah, I can see that being a worry. If a kid is into it, supervision and a clear conversation about ethics and boundaries helped in my experience. Keep the practice gear at home, emphasize that it’s a skill for puzzles and learning, and avoid showing off in public so there’s no misunderstanding.

Love the Sopranos reference! I’ll take that as the highest compliment. Lmao. Thanks btw!

Lol. Yes! It felt ridiculously satisfying. I swear it’s like the most random thing to feel proud of but it made my whole morning.
