Great stuff going on, just now started reading the entries! I’m jealous of the time you have for the hobby but even then I would not have the dedication and skills to make anything like this.
It is a great pleasure watching these tiny treasures being built
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.

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.
Today I started work on the carry case for all the pieces.

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:
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!
