This site is cool, and don't sweat it, when your friends lock their key in there car they will love your hobby ;)

I once asked a pop a lock guy how he learned and he said all he did was practice, practice, practice... on every lock he could get his hands on, so good luck!

FYI; there are many places in the US where a set of lock picks are considered burglar tools.  Where I live, just the possession of a set will get you some jail time.  That is of course if you are not a licensed locksmith.  There may be other professions included in that exemption but locksmith is the only one I am sure of.

Between you and me, there are fine tool steel strips available at various places that are intended for various things.  If you watch at home improvement centers and other like business you might find something you can use to make a set.  

Good luck on your quest and please, check local laws.  There are so many things that can get you in trouble.  The burglar they will release, but a kid trying to learn something will end up in jail.
