Quote from: willfcc on January 14, 2014, 02:50:12 AMSyph,Will you be selling kits with scales, liners and screws for the home hobbyist?WillYes my plan will be 2-fold. To continue offer modding services to those without the tools to do the mods on their own, and to sell scale/liner/pivot kits to convert their own. A drill press would still be required to drill out the tools, but the rest of it is just simple tools to do the converting.
I was chatting with my electroplater today and he mentioned they have a new dye color in...... orange!Im prepping scales this week and I should have hard anodized ORANGE SCALES next week! It will be a dark matte orange. Im super curious to see how it will turn out.
Ok, I was excited to do a test fit together of all the parts. Some parts still need final sand and polish, but the major nicks are sanded out of the drilled holes.Starting from the back side scale with posts. (Image removed from quote.)Plus first layer...(Image removed from quote.)(Image removed from quote.)Plus scissors... (Image removed from quote.)Plus opener layer.. no saw layer on this first test mock up, didnt want to push my luck.(Image removed from quote.)Plus top scale!(Image removed from quote.)And some fully assembled shots...(Image removed from quote.)(Image removed from quote.)(Image removed from quote.)(Image removed from quote.)It's close to finished but a few details to tidy up. I still need to grind a little on the scissors back spring as well. I think I like the silver torx screws fine, I might try black to see how it compares.Cheers!
Syph, you're an evil, evil man

Here's a mod Ive had on the bench for awhile, that has stalled a bit and I need to figure out a solution.The goal was to get a scalpel blade holder on a SAK... I cut down one and made a pivot and it fits and works well, the problem is i needs to sit far down to keep the sharp blade hidden, but there is no way to pull it out. All I can think of is to graft or bolt on some metal and form a nail nick on that... but I keep trying to think of an elegant solution.(Image removed from quote.)

The first pic was barely loaded and I knew this would be pure awesomeness!!!! Thanks Syph for all your moding greatness. It just made my day!!!p.s. could you make a blade holder, from scratch, with a nail nick like the ones on the drivers of a LM Juice?

Ya that would be the easiest I think, and probably safest way to open a very sharp tool like this. The only problem is that is has to stick up high enough so that when in open mode it clears the backspring. The customer that wanted this sent me 2 holders just in case I messed one up, so I have a spare if I mess up completely. This build will be very unique for sure though, its got alot of specific tools in one custom SAK that is for a very specific task which is picture framing. It has a serrated small blade on there too.

Not sure if WWW meant this but would a, dare I say this here ... lol, a Leatherman eg Charge type solution work ie a transverse nodule or knick towards the pivot on the tools body suffice? More specifically like the bit holder tool, or flat screwdriver, scissors etc.(Image removed from quote.)

I was also surfing through a Juice related thread so it came to mind immediately. BTW that is a beautiful piece of Charge!!
