Part Six & Seven – Magnetic Brass Sliding Pill Container & Mini Utility Knife/ Repair kit

The fun continues…

So I figured a small cutting edge would be a good thing to have in this kit and maybe some other useful things that can be kept in a small pill container.
Unfortunately my SD card failed on me after taking all the build photos for these two ( the strain must have been more than it could bear :laughing: ) so i will just have to post pictures and describe the nearly finished units.
I’m using the same techniques as the previous builds so you should have a good idea of what’s involved.

Brass Pill Container

Made from 15/32” (11.9mm), 7/16” (11.1mm), 3/8” (9.52mm) and 13/32 (10.31mm) brass tubing and 0.5mm brass sheet.

Made from 15/32” (11.9mm), 7/16” (11.1mm), 3/8” (9.52mm) and 13/32 (10.31mm) brass tubing and 0.5mm brass sheet.

Next I will probably start work on the case…

Thanks for looking.

63

Thanks for showing. This is a real epic of a build. Where are you heading to as there must be a destination at the end? :slight_smile:

64

I’m not sure, i could go north to the highlands or south to the lake district.
I usually just go out with no destination in mind at all.
I didn’t get away for a camping wander last year and would like to take a week out in september sometime. I prefer the cooler weather.

I really like the minimalism of your set. You have just a necessary stuff :slight_smile:

Nice, Scotland has some amazing nature :beer:

67

So, can you also play it like a pan flute? :wink: But seriously though, nice work on the whole set!

68

Thanks.
Someone else said the same thing here, could be yet another feature - i’ll give it a try. :laughing:

69

This flute, sorry I mean cartridge belt, wrong again. This looks simply amazing with what you have used and what was achieved. Love everything about it. Well done. :+1: :beer:

70

Thanks MRsDNF.

I think i will call this one “The Pipes” :wink:

71

Oh Danny BOY… The Pipes - The Pipes are Cahhh… ling… :stuck_out_tongue:

72

Robin, pass me the Bat cartridges.

73

Back in black. :beer:

74

^ LOL

I like the contrast of black against the polished brass. What a great build. Astounding attention to detail.

75

Oh, man, this has really turned out nice! :beer:

76

A different turn every time I look. Don't care much for the black, but I liked the polished ones and at least there's photos of them to save for posterity. You have probably outdone any one single build ever done and maybe outdone yourself, LOL.

It's been an amazing ride along the way, that's for sure!

77

This is the only thing I’ve seen to rival the design, creativity and detail of the tools that Evil510 does over on the multitool forum. Amazing and beautiful, CRX!

78

Yes, this one is epic. Maybe a bit more how some certain steps were done would be nice, but the build itself seems without compare.

79

Thanks for all the comments guys, That’s great, really inspiring and appreciated :+1:

Thanks Justin, I thought you would say that about the black finish but i couldn’t help myself :laughing:
It’s fairly easy to remove if i want to change it back to shiny but i must admit i like the contrasting black oxide case better, plus it has the added benefit of resembling less something which produces musical notes as some of my peers pointed out earlier :stuck_out_tongue:
I hope you are feeling better today.

Thanks ImA4Wheelr, I intend to add more descriptions to the posts where i can at some point but i don’t want to give away all my tricks :wink: … just kiddin, most of the framework is there now and i have plenty of time to fill it out some more and also check out other peoples builds, which i haven’t really looked at yet.

Anything specific anyone wants more information about though, just ask.

I still have part five, the flashlight to finish, waiting on parts for that…
