Re: Silly Pill Case Project

Thanks for your comments.
The lanyard ring was the simplest design I could think of without milling. Similar to the Ichishiki but the build process must be much cruder (I just stuck a shaft of wire through the two ends and pulled the center up with a pair of plyers, hence the angle).
Wish I was skilled enough to add some knurling..

Very nice!

I am certainly no expert, but if you angled the the holes slightly, instead of drilling them straight thru, it seems like the lanyard loop would be more difficult to pull out accidently.

Re: Silly Pill Case Project

Bill, great idea. Never thought about that. I am also considering to add more meat where the shaft goes through.

Hmmm Ti... Just asked the machine shop and was told it will be very expensive. And this is for ordinary Ti, not 6-4. Sounds fun though and no promises, but I may have a few made.
