So thank you for pointing that out in the news this week. If you were in Toledo, Ohio, there's a new traveling exhibit open at imagination station called test your limits in worst case scenario survival. 

[00:02:12] It opened on February 11th is based on the internationally best-selling worst case scenario, survival handbook series. It is a hands-on minds-on series of immersive challenges providing the essential instructions for surviving unexpected, but possible real life scenarios with a 76,000 ball pit, as a centerpiece, a horizontal climbing wall, a train cards.

This has come up before and I didn't mention it in other areas. I apologize for that, but it is currently in Toledo, Ohio, and you can check it out.

On the YouTube front, Chris Capone hit 1000 subs. This last week I saw there was a push by Starrylock to get him above that 1000 sub finished line. And it did work so congratulations to Chris cocoon for hitting 1000 subs on YouTube. 

[00:04:39] And if you're not already subscribed, please consider doing so lots of good content over there. I will have a link in the show notes. Paracentric sending. Linked to an interesting video by Chris Ramsey on solving the T 13 padlock puzzle. This is a $1,500 lever lock puzzle from Rainer pop, and you get a chance to see him wrestle with it and eventually get the core out to manipulate it. 

[00:05:08] Not really a lock picking thing, but still interesting, nonetheless. And what a beautiful piece of machinery. By the creator. So I would recommend you go check it out. I found it interesting. And this morning, before recording, I saw that deviant alum had put up a video saying he is starting up his Q and a video series. 

[00:05:29] Again, you can send your questions to him@questionatdeviating.net, and he'll do a video responding to them in a couple of weeks. So if you have any questions for him, be sure to head over there and check that out. Those are always interesting to see the questions that people say. So I just thought I would give that a little extra publicity. 

[00:05:48] Not that he really needs it. Channel is way bigger than mine. And we have some new products this week. I received a note from bare bones lockpicking that they have a new set. They're calling the three bones. It's a set of deep hooks, which have been created in collaboration with bare bones lockpicking and the butcher's block. 

[00:06:06] They are heavily influenced by the custom pick profiles provided by the butcher's block. And now commercially available from bones Lock Pickers. They are available in both 23 and 15 thousands as a set of three picks hook one they're calling the collarbone is the shallowest. Its profile is merged from an extended reach medium hook with one of the butchers blocks custom designs hook to their calling backbone has medium steepness over the thickest shank profile that finishes to a small gem tip it's profiles merged from a steeper version of the color. 

[00:06:43] With one of the butcher blocks custom pick designs, hook three, they're calling the Jawbone. It's the steepest as the narrowest tip, which finishes to the sharpest gem tip it's profiles merged from even steeper version of the backbone with another one of the butchers blocks custom pick designs, they have a PDF available that describes the picks in more detail. 

[00:07:07] You're welcome to go. Check that out. Link will be in the show notes. They say the same collaboration has also added pic blanks to the bare bones range in both 23 and 15 thousands. They say an initial inquiry by the butcher's block to bare bones for pick blanks or steel was rejected. However, given bare bones limited profile range, it was later revisited and made perfect sense. 

[00:07:31] It Locksports can now create or customize their own profiles and show off that Australian creativity to the rest of the community. They also point out that pocket woman and the butcher's block have done separate reviews on their YouTube channels. I'll put links to both of those also in the show notes. 

[00:07:48] If you want to check those out, 

[00:07:57] moving on to belts this week, Lock Pickers, United belts. We have two new purple belts. Fetalis 84 and Keela century. Climb 69 trees on Reddit, both purple. Then we have a new brown belt, Reddit user 9 1 2, 2 new red belts, Mikael, kicker, and birdie. And then we have one black belt announcement on the discord says everyone, please get your pings ready for our newest black belt. 

[00:08:29] Retap he has shown his skills to be worthy of black belt by making some beautiful picks complete with hand. Cut. And through picking an asset twin 6,000 with barrels, trio being twin control by Lock and the asset twin maximum plus. So congratulations to all of you, especially retail on the black belt for anyone not already familiar with the Lock Pickers United belt system, there'll be links in the show notes to the official rules page, as well as some videos that explain this. 

[00:09:01] And over at speedlocks.org, we had quite a bit of contention on the lock, a quarter master lock, one 50 front print set, a time of 1.5, three, four seconds, which was then beat by Gill gains with 1.26, eight seconds. That was beat by Panda-Frog with 0.8, six, seven seconds, which was tied by gala gains. And then gala gains, beat that with a time of 0.7, six, seven seconds. 

[00:09:29] And that was the last I saw at the time I pulled those records. Panda-Frog also set some new records for the Sol 2,500 dash 60 in 20.788 seconds. The 2,500 dash 20 and 4.1 71 seconds. Eight twenty-five hundred dash 10 in 1.501 seconds. And the alpha 1000 dash 45 in 41.474 seconds. So well done to everyone over there.

Just make sure it's reasonable length, polite work, family safe, not political and not just drama. 

[00:12:05] All right. So last week I shared a story about a Tik TOK user who found a mysterious floor safe. And I asked why locksmiths wouldn't want to work on floor safety. And I have received some feedback on. And I'll read this one comment left by Brian hignett on YouTube. It says as a retired, safe tech, in most cases, we quoted more to open a floor safe as they were very often in awkward spots inside cupboards or walk in robes with often limited room around the safe. 

[00:12:35] When manipulating you are lying on your tummy for an extended length of time, or if re required drilling you were on your knees. All safe texts. I know never liked opening floor safes. So a higher price was often quoted for the above reasons. It is very common for householders when renovating to find a floor safe. 

[00:12:53] And of course, curiosity prevails what could be in there. Customers are shocked when they receive the quote, as it's always higher than what they expect. Remember they do it real quick on TV. We would say, as a joke, the safe will only contain sailboat. After a pause, they realize it means nothing but air in the safe people. 

[00:13:14] Don't leave a house with very rare exceptions and leave valuables in a floor safe. So inevitably they are empty. I've been opening space for over 60 years and I could count on one hand, the amount of valuables found in floor space after owners, solar houses. And that same basic sentiment was also expressed by at least one other locksmith. 

[00:13:34] So I appreciate the feedback. Definitely. Yeah. Makes sense, why that would be the case, why you would not want to work on those in that situation. And one thing I thought of after I replied to this a comment, and as I was preparing to record, as I was also sitting in here looking at my robot dealer over there, the project I'm working on. 

[00:13:55] What about those robo dialers that are on the market already? Would one of those maybe make this easier? Do they even fit on in floor safes? And would that be a good option or would the risk of leaving it, having to leave it at the customer's location for an extended period of time, perhaps dissuade you from using it? 

[00:14:14] I know they're fairly expensive pieces of equipment. Anyway, just another question I had feel free to reply any locksmiths or safe technicians, reply to the comments or send me. All right, moving on to sales, we have that same thing. peterson.com sale that I mentioned last week. Remember, this is only good for items found in the specials section of their page.
