Hi from Iowa

thanks for checking us out!

It’s good to have you with us, I hope you enjoy DFS!

Fascinating. I suppose had I thought about it, it would make sense that locks, new and old, could be taken apart and worked on. Well, now when I find an old lock I know who to send it to. Great name.

Hahaha. Yes I have another hobby called Locksport.  I pick and restore old locks for fun.  Like make keys for them or other parts.  I got the name because the first lock I took apart, which was actually a modern day lock, got a little messy.  I had no idea what I was doing and used all the wrong tools and when it was over I just had a pile of parts.  Which I was able to but back together haha. But ya someone said, "Geez, you really butchered that lock!" And the lock butcher was born so to speak.  My love of antique locks is actually what brought me over to wet shaving with vintage razors.  Out antiquing for locks I would see these beautiful razors with all their doors and mechanisms and think, man that looks better than what I shave with now.  Nice to meet you and everyone else on here.  It has been a very warm welcome.

What a great story and, again, wlecome to DFS.
