    Default Hello All

    Hi. I am a new attendee. I will share with you all, my passion... Old, unusual, antique PADLOCKS! They are my thing. I started as a lock picker and have progressed to restoration and locksmithing. I will upload a pic of my current project. Its also my avatar. Hope to make some friends, not get in trouble and learn a lot.

    You should tell us a little about your project.

    Missouri, welcome from another antique padlock collector. I see you're from the "Show Me" state, so how about showing us more of your collection?? I've got several of my locks posted on here in old posts, but you can find most of them if you search. Mark

    Welcome aboard. We would love to see your collection. Take a look at our other postings on padlocks and see if there is anything you might know and add to the overall knowledge base.

    One thing on the watermark. I understand the need for it. But can you tone it back a bit maybe size or location as I can see that it might obscure some detail. At least in that picture I can make out most of the Masons Logo but had to look hard to see some of the lines.

    Nice lock!

    Any pictures I post will have to have a watermark. I will see what I can do, but I previous did sensitive research and had my pictures and videos stolen and someone else too credit for them. So, they are a necessity in regard to any picures I offer.
