Offensive security nut job (you don’t *have* to be mad to work here, so I’m told 😝). Lock collector, and occasional locksport competitor. Appropriately obsessed with dogs…

The bottom view of some 3D printed gridfinity storage bins (one 2x4x6, one 3x4x6). I started printing them in red, but ran out of filament just after the base was done and had to swap to white - so have ended up with two tone bins with red bases and white walls. It looks quite good, considering it was an accident. lol.

An oversized 3D printed cutaway lock part, next to a pile of bridging material I’d just removed on a messy desk.
Assorted 3D models of euro cylinder holding tools from Thingiverse.
A photo of a Creality K1C 3D printer box and three parcels containing printing filament that had just been dropped off by courier. A medium sized brown and white dog (~40kg) is partially obscured by the box, as he’s having a good sniff at the side away from the camera. His bright yellow harness, lead, and muzzle are being partially squished by the box, as it was heavy and I kinda put it down in a hurry when the courier dropped it off. The rest of the hallway, as my house (and arguably life), is a mess, so I’ll not dwell on describing that in too much detail. Composition is terrible, but I’m no David Bailey. Taken on an old iPhone, with a level of quality appropriate for hardware of the time.
An image of the Philip Larkin poem This Be The Verse, taken from https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/48419/this-be-the-verse . It reads: “They fuck you up, your mum and dad. They may not mean to, but they do. They fill you with the faults they had And add some extra, just for you. But they were fucked up in their turn By fools in old-style hats and coats, Who half the time were soppy-stern And half at one another’s throats. Man hands on misery to man. It deepens like a coastal shelf. Get out as early as you can, And don’t have any kids yourself.”
What is supposed to be a thousand piece jigsaw puzzle from dbrand, their “Robot City” pattern. Sadly, a piece appears to have gotten lost along the way, so I only have a nine hundred and ninety nine piece puzzle instead.
My first attempt at making a Bogotá style triple peak pick from a recycled street sweeper blade (bottom), with two commercial picks (either from Storm, or Mad Bob, I forget which) above it. Mine is not quite as refined, but not bad for a first attempt with only a small file and some sandpaper.
The back of an estate car, containing two brush heads taken from street sweeper machines. One is brand new, one is used. The steel bristles are to be recycled to make lock picking tools.
A headshot of my “large” brown and white American staffy cross dog, Kelvin, lying on the sofa wearing my light blue BrewDog hat. He doesn’t look terribly impressed at having had it put on him. 🤣 Apparently, he is no gentleman. 😝
A small misspelling on the back of the first Newcastle BSides hoodie - they called Brian “Brivan”… 🤣
