First mod: The Pocket Workshop
on: February 05, 2021, 11:36:55 PM
Some of you may have seen my plea for help with drilling new pivot holes last weekend.  My carbide bit finally came, and my first mod is now complete!  :climber:

My goal was to make a better (for me, of course) MiniChamp and Pocket Tool Chest.  There were a few things in the MiniChamp that I never use, and a few things in the PTC that I wanted to bring over.  Since the PTC is a larger Wenger, I had to cut the tools I wanted down to size and drill new pivot holes (the last part being where I got held up). Side note: for every .1mm I drilled, it seemed I lost .5mm off my carbide drill bit.  I only got one, and have but a stub left.

The tools I removed from the MiniChamp were:  cuticle/spatula thing, ruler/screwdriver, and nail file, plus the scales and their tools.
The tools I added from the PTC were: the awl and the fine screwdriver.
Edit:  Also took a flat screwdriver from a Mate.
One tool I made from scratch was a CBN sharpening blade with 350 on side and 600 on the other.  I cut it from a credit card version I already had.
I also made the scales.  I'm not sure, but I think they are cocobola.  It's one of of my favorite woods.  This looks like it, but worked a little differently.  More brittle/hard or something.  Much to my amazement, they freakin' snapped on!
The whole thing is held together by 1.6mm stainless screws with nuts, with the screws acting as pivots as well.

I will do this again and refine and fix a few things.  There are two main issues.  The first is that I installed the tools in the order that I wanted them without regard to nail nicks.  I might rethink the layout to better accommodate them.  The second was a manufacturing defect.  One of the PTC tools and the CBN blade both stuck up a little when closed.  I mistakenly thought this meant their bottoms were to low/thick vertically - meaning too much on the tool along the bottom from the pivot-line towards the springs.  So I ground some off.  Turns out, I was wrong. :rant:  They now stick up more.  That's especially painful on the CBN, as that was not easy to make.  I went through two saw blades cutting that little piece off the end of the card.

With no further ado, what I am calling the Pocket Workshop (hope it's not taken)...









Feedback would be appreciated!

I would have had to modify all the MC tools, including enlarging pivot holes.  Plus, I'd need springs for all the tools, and I'm not sure the Wenger ones would work.

I think going smaller (Wenger 64 -> Victorinox 58) is the way to go.

Really like this one. The coke sp...I mean cuticle pusher and ruler are a cop out as far as I am concerned, so trading them for an awl and precision driver is great. I frequently find myself wishing my SAKs had a nice, fine precision driver aside from the back mounted one which is usually to big for the terminals I would use it for as well as being awkwardly positioned.

Absolutely fantastic work! Could you work groove for the scale tools into the wood? I second FB, that's something worth an order! The sharpening blade was inspired.

Wow, that's some impressive work and very useful toolset. That sure looks like Zebra Wood. A very hard wood, too, and beautiful.

Excellent job, and quite skillfully, DavZell; love the scales and the recessed pivot bolts/nuts (which, I guess, will come in handy for future modifications and full-on cleaning job!
Congratulations on your work, Sir!  :hatsoff:

Thanks again, everyone!  This is very encouraging.  I'm waiting for some much delayed USPS packages with 2 more broken down PTC to see if I can improve on this one.  I had two folks interested in this one (more PM's are welcome)!  I'm really, really happy with how this turned out.

For those who are interested or inquired about the knife, here are pictures of how the PTC screwdriver and CBN file stick up a bit, and also how they rub a bit.





The PTC driver are on the far right, touching:
