March 22:

No uses for me today. Like some of the other big & chunky multitools we've used in other challenges, the Swisstool has found a comfortable place in my pocket. I'm just used to it being there now.   And I like it.....even without a decent hook.

Day 21 :

Mrs m47 stitched a simple pouch for my Spirit so it can stand still in my Maxpedition CAP (It had the bad habit to slide/shift to the bottom)
Nice pouch! And now it makes sense with the sand! I have seen several videos on YouTube when people use 123 block and all sorts of stuff that you buy but this sounds much better

Day 21
I used the file on the Swiss Tool to smooth out a slightly rough area on the spine of my new pocket knife.
Wow, that's an eye catching EDC!  :D

Looks like you got something good and yummy, despite not knowing enough to stay out of the kitchen when the wife is cooking.

Indeed!  :cheers: :D




Peruzing aroud the forum I stopped by the Shutter Shop and found the March Calendar thread lacking in Madness so I decide to share a small spattering of our Madness and make a few nominations to the thread.

Day 21

Slightly belated day 21, as last night I fell asleep before posting. Not much to report from a quiet Sunday, only used the Spirit to pop open a bottle of beer after lunch.

Thanks, it is an extremely simple pouch out of composite fabric like 'scuba knit' :)
Before using this sand-filled bottle (and the ones I'll make as soon as others are emptied), she used to borrow me my CT34 or any tool lying around  :angel:

More cool pics and uses!

Day 22

I put the white enamel to use on the Spirit XBS using the small screwdriver on the Spirit X plus as an OTT tool to open the little pots of Humbrol enamel. Photo of work in progress and finished product- the hunter pro will need a bit more work as the shield colouring lifts out - I’ll have to have a rethink as it’s not as deep a stamping as that on the Spirits.

They look good Rizio!  For Day 22, I used the Swisstool to replace the water lines for our washer, which picked now for some attention :facepalm:

I do very much.  I hope to spend a lot more time in it in a few years, but my wife and I love to explore it.
This used to be a much mightier Cactus :rofl:. We're growing a shoot off of it.
That red in the sunshine looks fabulous!!

That white on the XBS is really sharp.

I guess we are using it opposite way of each other, here in sweden pretty much all workpants already has that button but I don't like the ratteling sound it makes and take off the button keeping the knife and sheath tucked down instead

[It's not failure if you learn something from it]

It doesn't rattle for now but if it starts i have another Mora sheath in leather that might be better, i do really like the plastic one though  :tu:


Swiss Fuzz Day 21

Thank god, nearly finished...

And it's at this point you realise you have already used most of the coping stones  :D
