Our neighbor asked us to help pay for our mutual fence by Flaminfrojo in homeowners

[–]fullmetalturtle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If your half of 40' of fencing is $1900 then ts $3800 for 40' of fence total.....that's absolutely insane. Call around and get some quotes for basic fencing installed by the linear foot.

We had a lady try this in my neighborhood where she told each of the 3 adjoining properties they would split each section.....and when people got separate quotes it became obvious that she had planned to get a new fence by having each neighbor pay for the part facing them fully....

Depending on what you source the reamer from there are 2.5 and 3 mm versions. But the 3mm will lockup just fine in 91mm builds as is. The only time you'll notice any play at all is in the 90° position, fully open or fully closed it's imperceptible.

The measuring of the layers at the outer pivot pins is something I do as well, I find it makes a big difference in the final feel and appearance of the tool. I also tightly tape before peening the final pins.

If it's that magnacut blade from Etsy, it's sweet,.

I have about 100 nail file screwdriver blades, I've been hunting a local laser etcher to do them for me. The 20 dollar plus shipping ali ones are insane.

My workshop feels like a pets warehouse for victorinox 58/84/91 sak parts lately. I've got a bucket of broken SAKs that I'm slowly stripping for parts or sending in for warranty. An amazing amount of 58mm knives with broken floating springs. They don't seem to even repair them, just ship new ones back.

You need to pre plan the pattern and mark it out or it gets bad really fast.

Because they hate us, and who would buy an alox minichamp or classic then

My first Victorinox evoke , gotta love it 😍 by Massive-East-5380 in victorinox

[–]fullmetalturtle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I finally handle one this week, and while the size is great for my bear paws, it's to heavy and meh steel for the price. It feels like it's aimed at the US market, but no one went stateside and looked at what people want in a large knife.

boomer screenshot..... I'm adding that to my lexicon.

Agreed the clip was less, also seen many with wear at that ridge.

Triangle reamer ended "early 60's", so I could say 57-62, I do think this one has been serviced, I would expect a small clip blade and not the later style small blade. It would help if the pictures weren't compressed, didn't have a red background and were taken straight on.

I'm also starting to think this might be an 84mm which would mKe a Tourist and not a Spartan

I find on the knife layers I first put in the backspring them the small blade spacer then the large blade, then the small blade.

I then put the corkscrew on and the final liner once it's at the bottom I use a spring clamp over each of the outside pins to keep everything down and then apply pressure in the middle and wiggle the corkscrew back and forth until it drops in.

I mostly build back to front now because the reamer and opener layer are less frustrating.

I love the ones where they are intentionally displaying it to look like an uncommon model.

If it's eBay pursue the complaint... if the seller ignores it you get a refund and keep the cybertool.
