@@rwood1995 imo i doubt it...he picked out the locks *he thought* he could pick (to his strengths) and went .800 ...so i doubt he would go .800 with locks that went against or ones that weren't closer to his strengths...
@@mumblecake251 That's the thing, I for one would like to see a first-take video. Both of successes and failures. Even though I understand less than 99% of the terminology, it would be a joy to see him puzzle it out, try something only for it not to work and work out a new tactic. We may never see those, but I suspect a lot of would like to.
Yes, I would love to see him try to do a few of Bill‘s choices of the most dastardly variety. Even if he fails, it would be interesting to see why he fails.
"I knew what not to do, and that's more important than you may think." Information by exclusion is a GREAT way to learn. There's an old story about an engineer investigating why planes were getting shot down, I believe in WWII, and how to help reduce that. So he took a look at the planes that were returning and noted where they had received damage. He then recommended they reinforce areas where there was NO damage on future planes. Why? Pretty simple. Where there was damage on the planes that had returned, they WERE still able to return; they could demonstrably take damage in those areas and still remain flyable. Therefore, the planes that were not returning must have taken damage somewhere ELSE -- meaning the undamaged areas of the planes that did return must contain weak spots that needed reinforcing.
There is actually slightly more to the story. At first, they reinforces where the planes got shot at. However, the amount of planes getting shot down did not decrease. That is when they realised what NOT to do which is not to reinforce where they get shot but rather reinforce where they did not get shot.
@@weichenteo4297 To be precise it was Center for Naval Analyses that pushed for reinforcements in affected areas. And Abraham Wald explained to them their mistake. He died in a Plane crash :(
It's more complicated. Where the plane gets hit is not the only survival factor. How much the plane gets hit is, too. The problem is the limited data set. The planes that need to be examined are the ones that did NOT make it. That's what plane crash investigation does... most often by rebuilding from the wreckage.
Well, we seen you pick some from his naughty bucket, how about he try some that have kept you out thus far. Or how about you build each other a challenge lock
Albert Lebel - I quadruple this motion proposed by Albert Lebel. I would suggest using common keyways such as Kwikset, Schlage and Yale using only plug , bible and pin modifications. Nothing crazy like adding sidebars or traps that completely seize up the lock and you each pick your own lock then give it to the other. It might also be nice to do some type of charity fundraiser for a charity that almost anyone would support - (charities that help exploited children, tutoring programs - things like that) if someone donates a certain amount, they get a chance at picking one of the locks within two weeks of receiving it and then they pass it on to the next person who earned a chance to pick it.

I've really loved this series, and how you ended it with an honest assessment. I look forward to your colabs with BB, I know I'll enjoy them whatever they end up. That sound you hear is me, giving you standing ovation for you are a ... LOCK PICKING SAVANT!
I have never picked any lock. Ive never even been interested in picking. I cant remember how I discovered Your channel, but It may had something to do with ASMR. But I stayed, because I cant think of anyone so dedicated, eloquent, a master in his craft, yet modest, polite and fair. So, I came for ASMR, I stayed for the Host and locks :)))! Maybe I'll even try to pick a lock some day. Your channel is fantastic :).
A truly fair and honest explanation and to not put bills skills down....Fair play to you. As for a future collaboration, how about bill having a selection of your locks which you haven't opened yet or you sitting with bill helping him to open these locks using your picking styles, I think this would be awesome. Whatever you both come up with I'm sure it will be watched and enjoyed by many, I for one really enjoyed this full series and luck forward to more.
The honesty and transparency of this creator is refreshing and that is why I’ll never miss watching the content LPL releases. I came here originally from BosnianBill’s channel several years ago and I am a huge fan of both. Thanks to LPL and BB for having upstanding character. I wish all the best to you and yours!
Collaboration idea: One of you tensions the lock while the other picks it! It may not be very effective but the dialogue would be very entertaining I’m sure.
This was a great series. The collaboration between the 2 of you was a great project and fun to watch it grow and continue with each video. Can't wait to see the next one you two join in on
It’s cool how LPL is humble enough to call his and Bosnian bill’s approaches just “different” instead of saying that his approach is better, which I believe it is. I’ve been picking for almost 10 years and I started with Bill’s videos, he’s actually the first channel I subscribed to on this CZcams account, but I think it’s undeniable that LPL is the better picker. His heavy handed approach delivers better results based on what I’ve seen. I started with a lighter touch and followed bill’s advice when I started because he was pretty much my only way to learn back then, but over time I’ve transitioned more into a heavy handed approach because of LPL, and it’s been more effective for me as well. To be clear, this isn’t to take anything away from bill, he’s a better picker than I will probably ever be and just in general, a very skilled picker, but in my mind, LPL is probably one of the top 10 best pickers on earth. At the very least, he’s definitely the best CZcams picker.
I absolutely loved the series. You both are amazing and I believe as creative as you and Bill both are, whatever u come up with will be interesting to say the least.
Great series! But you scared the heck out of me for a split second and thought this was the last episode ever. I loved seeing your different approaches to tackling these locks.
This is the first video of yours I have watched. I heard about you from Bosbianbill's channel. The humility and politeness you displayed here has made me an instant subscriber. I don't enjoying learning from people who can't set their ego aside. However, people who teach and show deference to others is a sure sign you're going to learn something special from them. I look forward to learning from you!
I am a lawyer who picks locks for fun in my spare time, though my meager skills aren't even in the same galaxy as yours. I just want to say how much I look forward to your videos, and given my equal admiration for Bosnianbill, the Naughty Bucket Chronicles have been a total delight. In addition to being a gifted picker, this tenth vid shows you're a class act as well. An articulate teacher and analyst of lockpicking technique and strategy, you set the bar extremely high for everyone else hosting a locksport channel. Keep up the great work. (BTW - What's your area of legal practice?)
Thanks for your comments on the challenge. I was one that had wondered about Bills reaction to you apparently opening some of his locks with apparent ease, though did not comment on this. Your explanation makes a lot of sense. I am glad you and Bill intend to collaborate again in future
I think both you guys a brilliant when it's comes to your knowledge of locks. I have learned so much watching both of you and think it's great that you guys put this together for us. I think you should send your naughty bucket locks him Bill and let him try his hand at it. 🔒 👍👌
Great wrap-up! Thanks for doing this terrific series. I would love to see more collaborations with BB. Several of the previous comments are right on point... simple conversations, dueling challenge locks, creative pinning interpretations. And, my thought... field condition picks. Set up, and open something "in situ". This may play well to BB's strengths, as he apparently has done a lot of that professionally.
This has been a very enjoyable and educational series to watch. The different approaches of two great pickers to the same locks - passing on their knowledge and techniques has given me wider methods to try when getting stumped opening locks - invaluable information and top notch stuff.
Great video series. It’s very cool to see the style differences between you and Bill. And your friendship and collaboration is heartwarming in these times. You make the community stronger and much more interesting. Thanks again and you guys cook up another collaboration to keep things exciting. How about a dual occupancy video with you both sharing hands on tips with each other and your fans. Like exchanging first time tries back and forth with challenge locks. Draw lots and see who goes first. Time it and let other do it. But in a friendly and funny monologue style. Show off your humor you guys showed a bit in your naughty bucket garage video. That was a riot!
You and BosnianBill are my inspiration for getting into locksmithing and lock picking. I'm JUST starting out and I'm not the greatest yet, but I'm learning many things from watching both your guys' videos and I have a lot of motivation. Please keep the descriptive picking videos coming! :)
I like the idea floating around of taking a lock and picking it, making one change, then sending it to the other, they have to pick it, make one change, and send it back. I feel like that would get to be a very interesting series to see what you both thing would keep each other out.
I love it you guys collaborate on videos. I feel so fortunate when I get to hear two legends speak on the field they have chosen to excel in. Regardless what that field may be. The mutal respect and enthusiasm they share. Its a real treat. You both genuinely like great guys never mind the lock sport aspect. I dont feel worthy enough to have a sugestion but whatever content you decide to release I just hope Ill be around to enjoy it. Thankful for the many hours of entertainment from u both
That's cool you said that about bill. I've definitely learned alot from both of you. I picked my first 3 locks and my house lock twice today. Cant put em down, thanks!
I spent 2 hours the night before last trying to crack one I just got. Paracentric keyway and 2 serrated pins and the tension was just weird, it was very satisfying to turn that bar and open the dammed thing. Lock picking is such a blast.
LPL, as I once or two times commented under Bills videos, I'd LOVE to see you mod / construct a lock for each other, or just mod a lock to make it as hard as possible to pick. That would be AWESOME! Thankx for your great content btw, your (Bill's and yours) videos make my day after work!
Well done. I really enjoyed this series. I think it shows that even at the high skill levels of yourself and Bill, there's still a lot we can learn by working together. I appreciate the videos the locksport community has put out there. I've had a lot of fun learning about locks and how to pick them.
Love the gratitude you have showed to your fellow tuber/friend I would say..... Well done too you both for wrkin together to become better pickers an showing the rest of the world as always 2 minds are always better than one....
Bosnianbill is the one who honed my picking skills. Also the one who introduced me to lockpickinglawer. It's like learning from Mozart and then Beethoven. Great series. Thanks.
I’m late to this series, but I have to say - you, sir, truly are a gentleman and a scholar. One of the VERY rare youtubers that I would like to meet in real life someday, should you guys ever decide to hold some sort of lockpicking symposium.
Surely, the simplest idea would be for Bill to select some locks from your Naughty Bucket? That would give him a chance to even up the 'score'. Thanks, LPL.
I love collabs between LPL and Bill. They have great chemistry when together and create some very entertaining videos. I hope we will see more videos with them together in the future.
Great vid. Cool explanation and reasoning.😅 Maybe Bill & yourself can do a collaboration lock series, showing building different locks & pin's, core mods etc. Maybe modded, maybe commercial pins but sort of a how-to and a comp on picking them too. I would be useless at this but would be a cool joint effort or maybe part of this concept may work also.🍺😎🇦🇺
This was sorta my idea as well, but I would love to see it as a Guide to Lockpicking video series, I'd honestly pay for a couple hours of video content, this would generate money for the both of them, and provide is with quality content
Really awesome and tremendously valuable "context" conclusion to this great série. Newtonian, even : "if I saw further than others, it's because I was standing on Giants' shoulders." It's a team effort/story.
I like the suggestions to build challenge locks for each other. Also the the suggestion to pick and improve, send to the other guy, who picks and improves, until someone can’t pick it or figure out how to improve it.
It's interesting that the two locks left standing are both nearly identical to locks you can demonstrably pick with very little effort. It just shows how finnicky locks can be and how the slightest of differences in machining or pinning can make a world of difference in difficulty.
The trick to the Zeta is it's camera shy. It's an amazing coincidence that that was the one Bill mentioned he had opened a couple of times but never managed to capture on camera as well. Even though I'm late to it, this was a great series that was a lot of fun to watch.
Colab ideas. 1. LPL and BB should take turns on the giant Gerda Titan. 2. Make each other challenge locks. 3. Have a 3rd party assemble challenge locks and each time themselves to see who can get in quicker. 4. Design an ultra high security lock for production.
I signed in (twice, in fact) and was put through YT's sadistic hoops (re-loads unasked-for, etc.) in order to say that LPL was very gracious in thanking (Bosnian)Bill for his complicity. I'd like to suggest that LPL and BB collaborate on a lock-picking Thneed -- a key-ringable All-in-One tool that can tension (CW & CCW) while allowing various picks (interchangeable, perhaps snap-in, to retain 'feel') to be used to cover the widest range of commonly-seen locks.
You guys are both obviously very gifted. Ive been designing a lock for a couple months now. Basically taking the best parts of each lock and trying to encompass it into one lock. Id like to see you guys design and build an "unpickable" lock.
That series took place few years ago, but still it gave me so much fun! Bill is now retired (I tottaly agree with that, don't let your hobby be more than your familly), hope you guys are still i touch :D Thanks for all!
I'd love to see you both collaborate on a lock that has a very resistant exterior, plus an awesome core that could resist almost all attacks, at a reasonable price for most of us. Some sort of hybrid of the best parts available to combine for an awesome padlock!
I've seen some nice ideas in the comments regarding Bill and you collaborating (eg. challenge locks, let Bill try your naughty bucket, etc) but I would love to see you and Bill sit down for a cuppa or a wee tipple and discuss some aspect of locks/lockpicking (being a big history buff, I would love to hear about your favourites locks, their design history, why they are constructed the way they are ...a Forgotten Weapons of locks).
Nicely said, I would like to see a collaboration on a dual type of lock. I think a head to head competition would be cool(I understand it puts egos in the front line). Same lock different distructive ways would be neat. That's all I got off the top of my head. You both rock and thank you for the many hours of entertainment, both of y'all.
HURRAY...very well explained what you were doing was not a competition...actually I love the the part were Bill caught you snooping around the his lock lab.and the great techniques you used to open the locks all around just DAM GREAT VIDEOS LPL .Thank you learned so much from your videos and Bills .Videos. 😎
I always love when someone tells the whole story. Your explanation is very sound and both you and Bill,are GREAT PICKERS. EXCELLENT Series of naughty bucket Chronicles. Great job MR.L.P.L
Just as your picking styles are different, I imagine your ideas on challenge locks might be as well. It would be cool to see you and Bill blind pick identical stock locks, improve them, then send them to each other. Knowing each other’s styles while improving the locks would make for some very interesting comparisons after the fact. The series could be 2 videos each and one collaboration at the end to discuss.
I would love to see long form videos where you just film the entire process of figuring out a pick. Also, live streams of picks would be pretty great, too.

A lockpicking escape room would be fun to watch - you could take turns setting it up and seeing who can get out the fastest.
Yes please!
Make that a lockpicking escape room using only improvised tools in the room.
Oh yes they must do that, even if not an escape room, a puzzle series of locks to a final safe lock or something. Like a gauntlet, who gets through first/ the fastest
Lpl just pulls a ramset out of his pants and goes around the room *bang* "nice click on one" *bang* "two feels set"
Interesting idea, but considering how long time a picking can take, you probably would need to bring plenty of food with you
"Bill could have just as easily selected for me.. the most dastardly locks in the bucket.." I mean, am I wrong for wanting to see that happen?
cogenerate deep down LPL knows he will still bat .800 or better!!
@@rwood1995 imo i doubt it...he picked out the locks *he thought* he could pick (to his strengths) and went .800 ...so i doubt he would go .800 with locks that went against or ones that weren't closer to his strengths...

@@mumblecake251 That's the thing, I for one would like to see a first-take video. Both of successes and failures.

We may never see those, but I suspect a lot of would like to.
Yes, I would love to see him try to do a few of Bill‘s choices of the most dastardly variety. Even if he fails, it would be interesting to see why he fails.

And design and build the tools to pick them.

I’m late to this series, but I have to say - you, sir, truly are a gentleman and a scholar. One of the VERY rare youtubers that I would like to meet in real life someday, should you guys ever decide to hold some sort of lockpicking symposium.
Surely, the simplest idea would be for Bill to select some locks from your Naughty Bucket? That would give him a chance to even up the 'score'. Thanks, LPL.
I don’t know why I love your videos so much but I do. Thanks man.
I love collabs between LPL and Bill. They have great chemistry when together and create some very entertaining videos. I hope we will see more videos with them together in the future.
Great vid. Cool explanation and reasoning.😅 Maybe Bill & yourself can do a collaboration lock series, showing building different locks & pin's, core mods etc. Maybe modded, maybe commercial pins but sort of a how-to and a comp on picking them too. I would be useless at this but would be a cool joint effort or maybe part of this concept may work also.🍺😎🇦🇺
That's a really great idea.
Seconded i like this from a technical pov...
This was sorta my idea as well, but I would love to see it as a Guide to Lockpicking video series, I'd honestly pay for a couple hours of video content, this would generate money for the both of them, and provide is with quality content
Really awesome and tremendously valuable "context" conclusion to this great série. Newtonian, even : "if I saw further than others, it's because I was standing on Giants' shoulders." It's a team effort/story.
The Paul Harrell of lock picking. Awesome videos thank you.
Loved the series and hope to see more collaborations :-)
You are a class act. Enjoy your videos.
I like the suggestions to build challenge locks for each other. Also the the suggestion to pick and improve, send to the other guy, who picks and improves, until someone can’t pick it or figure out how to improve it.
Unforgettable locks. If I ever have to hide a bod- giraffe I'll definitely use one of these. RIP
Very nicely said
Your final thoughts are Awesome!
I think if you take the abus rock, which stood up to the ramset gun Vs Bills mini gun! That would be fun.
professionalism , honesty , enthusiasm and much more.. this channel is what i wanted to see when yt launched at 2005.
Loved the Naughty Bucket series. Maybe you and Bill could do a tools series.
It's interesting that the two locks left standing are both nearly identical to locks you can demonstrably pick with very little effort. It just shows how finnicky locks can be and how the slightest of differences in machining or pinning can make a world of difference in difficulty.
The trick to the Zeta is it's camera shy. It's an amazing coincidence that that was the one Bill mentioned he had opened a couple of times but never managed to capture on camera as well. Even though I'm late to it, this was a great series that was a lot of fun to watch.
Colab ideas.
1. LPL and BB should take turns on the giant Gerda Titan.
2. Make each other challenge locks.
3. Have a 3rd party assemble challenge locks and each time themselves to see who can get in quicker.
4. Design an ultra high security lock for production.
Wonderful conclusion summery. It shows humility and appreciation.
I like the honesty put into this video
Some kind of discussion on styles of picking, maybe? A sort of ... headless-to-headless chat.
I signed in (twice, in fact) and was put through YT's sadistic hoops (re-loads unasked-for, etc.) in order to say that LPL was very gracious in thanking (Bosnian)Bill for his complicity.
I'd like to suggest that LPL and BB collaborate on a lock-picking Thneed -- a key-ringable All-in-One tool that can tension (CW & CCW) while allowing various picks (interchangeable, perhaps snap-in, to retain 'feel') to be used to cover the widest range of commonly-seen locks.
Truly respectable friendship.
You guys are both obviously very gifted. Ive been designing a lock for a couple months now. Basically taking the best parts of each lock and trying to encompass it into one lock. Id like to see you guys design and build an "unpickable" lock.
That series took place few years ago, but still it gave me so much fun!
Bill is now retired (I tottaly agree with that, don't let your hobby be more than your familly), hope you guys are still i touch :D
Thanks for all!
I'd love to see you both collaborate on a lock that has a very resistant exterior, plus an awesome core that could resist almost all attacks, at a reasonable price for most of us. Some sort of hybrid of the best parts available to combine for an awesome padlock!
Definitely a Squire SS100CS shell, maybe an Abloy or Bowley core
I've seen some nice ideas in the comments regarding Bill and you collaborating (eg. challenge locks, let Bill try your naughty bucket, etc) but I would love to see you and Bill sit down for a cuppa or a wee tipple and discuss some aspect of locks/lockpicking (being a big history buff, I would love to hear about your favourites locks, their design history, why they are constructed the way they are ...a Forgotten Weapons of locks).
I'd like to see Bill tackle the Bowley locks! 😂
man i subscribed because of the great content, and your very respectful conclusion at the end explaining it
Nicely said, I would like to see a collaboration on a dual type of lock. I think a head to head competition would be cool(I understand it puts egos in the front line). Same lock different distructive ways would be neat. That's all I got off the top of my head. You both rock and thank you for the many hours of entertainment, both of y'all.
HURRAY...very well explained what you were doing was not a competition...actually I love the the part were Bill caught you snooping around the his lock lab.and the great techniques you used to open the locks all around just DAM GREAT VIDEOS LPL .Thank you learned so much from your videos and Bills .Videos. 😎
I always love when someone tells the whole story. Your explanation is very sound and both you and Bill,are GREAT PICKERS. EXCELLENT Series of naughty bucket Chronicles. Great job MR.L.P.L
Just as your picking styles are different, I imagine your ideas on challenge locks might be as well. It would be cool to see you and Bill blind pick identical stock locks, improve them, then send them to each other. Knowing each other’s styles while improving the locks would make for some very interesting comparisons after the fact. The series could be 2 videos each and one collaboration at the end to discuss.
the 3 yes and the 16pin castel id love to own ! art work
I would love to see long form videos where you just film the entire process of figuring out a pick. Also, live streams of picks would be pretty great, too.
I think your next trip to the Naughty Bucket should involve 10 picked at random. Great job with this series!
"No good deed goes unpunished" like 1 of 3 people I've ever heard use that one. lol.
