That's looking great, Marc!
It does look good. How tight were you able to get the pivots? Is there any blade play, and is the bail free to move?
That's turned out very nicely!
Good questions from hBut it sure looks sweet!

Is there any blade play, and is the bail free to move?Overall I am pleased with the outcome:All of the components, liners, springs, tools and the blade layer spacer are nice and snug.There is zero play in the tools, on either end, but more specifically on the bail end, all of the implements have a nice snap opening and closing.The bail is free to move with assistance, it will not sag, but it will travel to both extremes, having said that... it rubs on the tooth pick a little, I will need to figure out how to address this issue.Thank you all for the comments

Great work, Marc!
