Please protect your doors better. This is unacceptable. It is fun though.

🤦

Think through all the aspects of your security.

Very curious. Super unimportant, but the logo shape seems like one that someone might know right off (yr author does not)

Mmm crevice pins

🤣

Thinking of opening an adjacent business for when people get thirsty from lock jerky.
A side bar.

Lock jerky 🤤

Lock soup 🤮

Locks in an ultrasonic cleaner. A bubble clump is trapped below the surface but not attached to anything.

Love to get enchanted by little bubble clumps, attached to nothing, that get caught an inch below the surface in an ultrasonic bath.

Gotcha. There's some chapters that became less active after covid, hopefully they'll pop back up again!

(just realized there's no DM on here or it's hard to find!)

TOOOL LV is Chapter-LAS@toool.us
I'm not sure how they're involved w DC 702.

They are "about to start a monthly meeting"; expressing your interest/offer help may motivate.

If you want to know logistics re (re)starting one:

Improving lock labels—from printed stickers to engraved numbers.

We humbly suggest picking locks as well!

Picture of a ted anodized Paclock padlock with the TOOOL logo machined into the face of the lock body. Lit with 2 lights, primary is from above with a snoot for a spotlight effect, the secondary is off the the left illuminating the side.

Yes, I did a portrait, of a padlock.

🤘🤘

There is a LV chapter of TOOOL. Send a DM if you're not already with them; we'll connect you.

Similar, but different than DC; there's definitely lock picking ✨history✨ that makes the area special.
We should spread the love beyond the criminals/politicians (six/half dozen 😂)

Hi, Good Place!

Here's a shot of a recent event to get things started 🔓🎉😀
