Follow list short because I'm a completionist. Follow list weird because I am weird.

No mystery.

I'll give you an follow but in return I want you to go get a master no 3 (1, 5, or 141 also acceptable) and try to pick it. Practice locks are just a diversion and also harder than the most common master locks. Can't wait to see you post about your first pick in my feed.

Oh, and this was the kit I got in case you were interested (though seems you're not new to this, so probably have better tools).

Will these suffice for the locks mentioned? See lots of other shapes and sizes out there

PS - unfollow at any time, feelings will not be hurt. It's 80% shitposting spam, not for everyone

Great kit, I have it and those pics took me far.

That practice core is a pain I thought. If you put anything other than straight pins in it it just binds up. I found sprung core locks easier to learn tension on. I have picked unsprung core commercial locks that were easier than that practice core.

The master 150 is much better for learning counter rotation I think. That is still my favorite to pick and I use it as a warmup lock before working on locks I find challenging.
