Make: Online : Locksport International visual picking guide

Locksport International visual picking guide - in comic book form

I think this is one of the most interesting uses of Comic Life (comic book creation software)... Josh Administrative Director of Locksport International writes - "Locksport International is proud to provide a simple, visual guide to lock picking. It is our hope that beginners will find this useful in learning the basic skills of picking pin tumbler locks - LSI is Locksport International, a worldwide organization of lockpicking enthusiasts who meet on a regular basis to discuss their hobby, share ideas, and work to advance the promotion of locksports within their community." [via] - Link.

And... special thanks to Josh for getting a copy to MAKE, you can download the PDF here, or get it automatically via iTunes/RSS 2.0.
