They charge extra to hold something?  I hadn't heard that before.

Come on MTO members, step right up.  No wait line, box is ready to go!

Also, restored one of those Wengers.  It was missing the toothpick, so I modified a Vic toothpick.  I put a notch in it just like the Wenger one so you could access it and reprofilled it to sit flush.  Cleaned it up and oiled it, everything opens and closes with a snap.  Also sanded the scales and somewhat polished them, didn't spend a ton a time on it.  And sharpened the blade.  Everything works great.

Thanks to whoever donated them!

Fantastic job! :like:

I'm still thinking of taking another go at the box. I'll know a little more after I talk to the folks at the local Post Office. But until I figure that out, I'm not having anything sent to my house unless it can pass through the mail slot.

Bueller?  Bueller? :pok:  :pok: Doesn't anyone want the surprise box even if just out of curiosity?  It's freely offered free stuff for free.  I'll take it again if nobody else does, but I seem to be in another storm path since it is the peak of hurricane season, which means our package may get held up for a few days due to weather.

Took apart that second Wenger Esquire.  Made some scales out of bright green G10, peened it shut, and sanded down the rivets flush with the scales.  No tweezer or toothpick, just a nice thin SAK.

Alan, you next?

Enjoy the pics!

I'm in, on two conditions. Owing to my lack of a secure delivery location, the sender has to be willing to pay the extra money (I think it's $4) for signature confirmation. And whomever I send it to has to be okay with me being out of the house for long stretches during the week. It may take me a while to go through everything, and I can only visit the local Post Office on Saturdays.

Got your pm, local post office doesn't have any medium flat rate boxes, so I ordered some, as soon as they get in I'll get it shipped out to you!

I didnt know this until recently, but you can order any size usps box from usps.com for no charge.  Its very helpful, as my local post office never has small or medium flat rate priority boxes.  They will ship them to you and even provide a tracking number!

There was one downside when I did that: the boxes took forever to arrive. Hopefully they managed to get that sorted (it was during the peak of Covid, if memory serves me correctly).

No rush. The longer it takes to get to me, the longer Dan has to get everything sorted for when he gets it.

Good news, was at the post office today and they had medium flat rate boxes.  Was there at just about closing time, so I'll have to get it to BPRoberts on Monday.

I'll try tomorrow, if not, then for sure on Friday.

My wife went to get a book from the library on Monday and had to send me back yesterday while she was in class. Like I said, no rush on this end.

Box received. I say this every time I get it, but the quality of stuff inside keeps going up! Also, we're about to break 20 pounds!
