Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Reubjames: It's going to be tricky and I don't have it all sorted out yet. I'll be using threaded bushings in the 3 pin holes for the screws to thread into. I may just have to squeeze the whole thing in a vise to compress the back spring for assembly or possibly come up with some kind of jig where I can use a clamping screw or small arbor press to compress the spring to the point where everything will thread together. It's all rough in CAD still, but this is an early concept. This blade is not what I'd use standard, it's a specific request from a friend (he's lefty so clip is on the "wrong" side). I prefer the more traditional zulu style blade so I'll likely make one with that style blade. https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/59685/Capture_JPG-3312522.JPG https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/59685/Zulu_S_2024-Sep-03_08-54-10PM-000_Custom-3312494.JPG https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/59685/Zulu_S_2024-Sep-03_08-52-21PM-000_Custom-3312493.JPG Also, what a rookie rendering program.

I like the blade shape. I meant how to the customer is going to be able to take it apart and put it back together. If there's screws in it, someone is going to take it apart. To me, I don't see much reason to use screws instead of pins unless it's meant to be serviceable by the end user. Maybe you can make a tool for whichever bushing will be the last to go in against spring tension. Maybe something with a long taper to get things aligned and the bushing started. I have a mystery to solve. I saw that I had an order from a material supplier delivered to the post office, so I had my wife go by on her way to town. The lady at the post office gave her the package I was expecting but also a notice that a package from southern Idaho was sitting there for 10 days and had been returned last week. I wasn't expecting anything, I looked through all of my emails since June for an order I might have forgotten about and didn't see anything, and I can't think of anyone from that area that I might have purchased something from. The only place I can think of in the area is the makers of gcarta but I'm sure I haven't ordered anything from them since before we moved.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By sywagon: I like the blade shape. I have no idea how the back spring works or fits in slip joints - never looked into it. That being said, if it takes all that to assemble it, and hence a user couldn't take it apart, what is the purpose of the screws? Also, what a rookie rendering program. It cuts the tips off like an amateur knife photographer (just kidding, that looks like some seriously badass software) The screws will make it easier for me to do final assembly. A lot can go wrong when peening so I was thinking about a method that can allow me to have a few standard designs that are a bit easier to produce. I’d still peen together some models. The screws also add a bit of a modern look which appeals to some buyers. It’s possible I can get the spring tension just right where reassembly by a customer won’t be a problem but I’m sure someone will mess it up at some point. I may have to make a point in my notes to the customer that it’s on them if they take it apart and then use some permanent lock-tite on the threads when I do my final assembly. Pena and bitchmade and a lot of custom makers offer screw together slipjoints so it must not be too crazy. It does lend itself better to different types of folders though. I was also considering screws so I could offer replaceable cover panels if someone wanted to swap them out. Not sure how realistic that is at this point but it’s something I’m mulling around. The software I use is Autodesk Fusion. It’s amazing for CAD & CAM and also has some rendering capability. Cropping the tip was definitely a rookie mistake though

Maybe you can make a tool for whichever bushing will be the last to go in against spring tension. Maybe something with a long taper to get things aligned and the bushing started. I took my Pena apart that I posted earlier. Did a forced etch on the blade. That thing was a BITCH to put back together, but I got it. So yeah, someone is going to fuck around if there is a screw there. I have a mystery to solve. I saw that I had an order from a material supplier delivered to the post office, so I had my wife go by on her way to town. The lady at the post office gave her the package I was expecting but also a notice that a package from southern Idaho was sitting there for 10 days and had been returned last week. I wasn't expecting anything, I looked through all of my emails since June for an order I might have forgotten about and didn't see anything, and I can't think of anyone from that area that I might have purchased something from. The only place I can think of in the area is the makers of gcarta but I'm sure I haven't ordered anything from them since before we moved. Why the hell would they send it back after ten days? We leave stuff at the post office way longer for one of the PO boxes we monitor. That lady is full of BS if she can't provide the tracking number for you to see origin scan. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Reubjames: The screws will make it easier for me to do final assembly. A lot can go wrong when peening so I was thinking about a method that can allow me to have a few standard designs that are a bit easier to produce. I’d still peen together some models. The screws also add a bit of a modern look which appeals to some buyers. It’s possible I can get the spring tension just right where reassembly by a customer won’t be a problem but I’m sure someone will mess it up at some point. I may have to make a point in my notes to the customer that it’s on them if they take it apart and then use some permanent lock-tite on the threads when I do my final assembly. Pena and bitchmade and a lot of custom makers offer screw together slipjoints so it must not be too crazy. It does lend itself better to different types of folders though. I was also considering screws so I could offer replaceable cover panels if someone wanted to swap them out. Not sure how realistic that is at this point but it’s something I’m mulling around. The software I use is Autodesk Fusion. It’s amazing for CAD & CAM and also has some rendering capability. Cropping the tip was definitely a rookie mistake though I mean the tuff lite is basically a locking slippie...it has screws... |

So looks like I would win the coolest week (I checked WIC's since he didn't post it), and I didn't see any long term ones that would beat me next week and possibly the following. Not that there was a prize, but given some of you are 450 miles straight north of me I found it entertaining.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Cajun_Redneck: Most definitely threaded G10 Zoom in on it and you can see the texture. They may have changed the design to screwing it directly into the G10 handles. Does not seem to be a great idea if that’s the case why does no one listen to me? is it because engineers are just so much smarter? they ignore us lesser humans? |

I didn't know it was a competition some like it hot not me, but some people say, speaking of hot, need some help. maybe Rob Low can chime in. But not Op. Exchange student wants to get some hot sauce as a souvenir for her dad. It's just not really a thing over there. So obviously I will send her home with some Cholula. Good allrounder. But not really "hot." She says her dad likes hot. I told her I would ask for recs from you guys. Criteria: Hot, but still flavorful Can receive it fairly quickly (Amazon or store bought option is ideal, but I am open) Not massive TIA ETA: Also, you're up a fucking mountain, why wouldn't it be cooler there than here?! |
