People report great success with Lincoln locks, but I haven't yet found any to work with. I think the Icelandic locks are nice, too.Heather Woollovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12791330032093043536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3398142838267674947.post-60522702942426131512011-10-11T07:25:23.088-04:002011-10-11T07:25:23.088-04:00So how do you keep the tips free, when you want ev...So how do you keep the tips free, when you want everything else to felt in solidly?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3398142838267674947.post-88846736385538762892011-10-11T05:50:45.526-04:002011-10-11T05:50:45.526-04:00I never worked with raw locks but you make me very...I never worked with raw locks but you make me very curious to go and try it.
