Thank you so much CH1! Your cutaway was a masterpiece, and this video could not have been done without it! I look forward to our future collaborations :)
Incredibly useful video. I'm experimenting with my first 600 w/Gins, and float picking for the first time. This information will make a huge difference. Thank you.
Very nice demonstration. It's surprising how much of this I apply in my picking but only do so through muscle memory and am not even conscious of how I came to picking gins the way I do over time.
Thank you for your contribution Michael. Yes, I am much the same way it was interesting to deconstruct each step and associate an action with the feedback. Im glad that you enjoyed the presentation.
I love this. My skills so far are only low to intermediate - recently getting a green belt based on AL1100 successes - I'm very interested in going deeper and gins are of particular fascination to me. I recently bricked an ASSA of uncertain model number (I think probably a 600) that had gins of various lengths for all 6 drivers. The bricking happened by the head of a gin getting stuck in an anti drill hole while I was backing out the core to try and remove the actuator in a euro. Apparently this is a common problem so it was infuriating at the time, but also a fantastic learning opportunity. It seems the head of that particular gin was just the right diameter to capture into one of the anti drill bores, hence turning it into an irrecoverable trap. As for actually picking them, that's way into my future, but I'm looking forward to getting there with time and patience.
What a superb video. Beautifully planned, scripted, and presented. The addition of those close-ups of the cutaway lock is the icing on the cake. Subscribed. Thank you :)
Your videos are my favorites. I've not seen anyone who does presentation the way how you do it. You are making this picking art into science as well. I can't wait to see more of your videos. Thank you for making those videos!!
Very informative, thank you. Was directed here from georgiajim from a short he posted about picking a lock with Gins. I don't think I'm even remotely able to feel that little bit of movement yet, but it's definitely good knowledge to have
Very nice in depth presentation of the topic 👍 Thanks for doing that. If I have gins to pick (none so far) and have trouble with them, I will sure check this again 👌
Dam Son, is this Epic. I've never even Heard of a gin pin, lol. I've picked serrated's before and a spool pin once but the locks I work on never usually have anything but normal pins and 2 shearlines. This was super interesting.
Thanks Hux! You paved the way for this presentation. (An aside... I hate gin, I was thinking maybe if you wouldn't mind re-naming it to Whisky drivers?)
interesting video, as far as i know i havent seen any video on there. with that said, i havent looked really and with so many channels and videos out there, its hard to say without looking. i do want to make some of the gin spools eventually and give them a run at picking them. thanks for the video sir, stay well and stay safe
