be sure to click on the link in the description to find all of these blueprints you can either go directly to the downloadable PDF files or you can go to the video which explains how to print these out to a one-to-one scale alright so now we're going to be layering up some pieces in the sides to make these pieces you're going out to layer up a 16 layer card so to fit smaller parts like this piece in the back here and this front section here I recommend folding it like this take some glue and you just spread it on the half again just like this spread it around evenly then fold it in half push down in the middle first toward the edges just like before find something like a pencil or something random like this and get rid of all the excess air and glue then you can fold it this direction just like this so it's like this square here and remember this is for smaller parts if you'd like more information about building smaller parts there's a link in the description to a video how to stack hardened paper to do the exact same thing now this is four layers so if I cut this in half and glue those two pieces together I will have eight layers I'm going to apply some glue to this do the exact same thing now if I cut this in half and like glue those two pieces together I will have sixteen layers and all of those parts inside of the frame like I've said before are three sixteen layer pieces stacked up together so if you've printed everything out to a one-to-one scale this should work out perfectly so just measure just to make sure and I'm going to zoom in just a little bit here so you can see where I'm drawing this line now this line you basically just need to continue it out to the edge just like that just lightly you can connect the hidden lines too if you want so now you just cut around it just roughly it doesn't have to be perfect because well it just doesn't have to all right here's the piece right there so I'm just going to glue this really tiny piece it's really not that small compared to the locks so it's right there and I'm putting it toward the edge so I have more room for you know other smaller parts so now you can cut around it now you need two more of these and then you can glue those pieces together or the longer pieces like this really long wall since it's the same length of the entire frame you can fold a sheet of paper like this then you can fold the paper like this put some glue then you can find the center and cut it in half this is only four layers it will be eight layers then glue these together and then cut it in half one more time this direction the long direction right now you can cut very roughly around this long wall and then you can glue three of these on here just like this you might need to trim a little bit closer to the actual object line you can fit three of them on there and cut them out just like these pieces so really quickly I'm going to go ahead and glue those three 16 layer pieces of these and the 3/16 later pieces of the really long wall that we just cut out of here and I'm going to go ahead and cut out the 3/16 layer pieces so they're ready to glue together for the small piece in the back and this long middle piece right here so for this front part that blocks the blade it's going to be 1.200 long and it will be three hundred thousandths of an inch wide toward the top and where this step is from here to the step is going to be 0.6 80 and this width right here will be two hundred thousand seven inch since all of these pieces are 3/16 layer pieces glued together they will all match the same thickness or height or however high they sit in the actual frame itself this long wall needs to be in the length of the frame here and it needs to be one hundred thousandths of an inch wide this piece right here needs to be four point to ten inches long and it needs to be two hundred thousandths of an inch wide and last but not least the small piece which will go in the back right here needs to be nine hundred thousandths of an inch long and two hundred thousandths of an inch wide after you have established the thickness and the length and everything like that you want to glue them together see these three they're not glued these two are but I still just need to glue these so I recommend using just superglue for these parts when they're 16 layers thick you just glue those 16 layer pieces together with superglue make sure you use pliers and everything to get it very strong after you glue them all together with superglue they should look something like this and make sure you polish them up make them very smooth and inspect meaning the correct measurement to fit in the right spot so glue on the front section and the back section first because some work needs to be done on the inside of this the one that's going to be touching this wall right here after you've Lu the front section in the back section this middle one the face that will be touching the wall right here you need to file a little groove about two-thirds of the way up on both sides this will allow clearance for the spring that will be pushing the lock forward you can see the area here I darkened it with the pencil so you can tell it's closer to the top these are not exactly in the middle so this face right here is going to be glued to here make sure the groove is about the diameter of a standard pen spring so I measured this and it's about 12 thousandths of an inch thick so make sure these grooves can fit this gauge so you can put all of the stuff to the side for now and we can start building the blade right here and you can see it is the same length as the mainframe itself but everything else has 5 thousandths of an inch taken off to make it fit correctly and be able to slide with little friction so since displayed is a hundred and fifty thousand seven inch thick you are going to have to stack up about thirty six layers of paper to get that thickness since this is a copy of the blueprint right here I can just cut it out of here and glue it on here so after you glue it on here you can see these extra lines here those are where they chamfer and they do that on both sides so they will both meet up in the middle so you just cut around the outside normally if you want champers you cut those later so I haven't done chamfers on here yet but I did put it under some books after cutting it out and I saturated it with superglue so it'll be stronger and more sealed I guess you could say now you can glue this really long wall on here and if it's longer than the frame itself you just trim off the ends and you're also going to want to put a piece right here this is preventing the blade from going this direction if it's a rounded blade you won't have to worry because it will be in contact with this surface but since I modified the design I have to put that piece there and cut a little piece out of here so it fits over it like a puzzle I'm sure you've seen this lock already a couple of times and I'm going to show you how to make one so basically focus on getting your blade to work smoothly you won't know for sure until this part is glued on but this is what you want to start off with so you find or make a scrap piece of 16 layer paper and you want to measure over one hundred thousandths of an inch and cut five of those pieces these are all five pieces and you need to drill a hole in each one of them just like this 1/16 of an inch drill so what I recommend doing I have a couple of them that I haven't drilled yet what I recommend is you draw a light circle so it will be the correct shape and then you draw a cross in the middle after you get somewhat of a guide through the center you put it on the other side and you do the exact same thing and I would recommend taking some superglue and putting it over these little pieces remember these are half of an inch long I still need to trim them down a little bit so I'm clamping it and I'll let that dry it's actually very easy to drill a hole by hand like this in such a small part all you do is line it up with the guide you made with the thumbtack and you start twisting it now once you get it all the way through you just take it out and you put it in through the other side and just make sure the hole is nice and smooth then you can reinforce it with some superglue just like before and clamp it down after you drill a hole in all four pieces the fifth one's going to be a little bit different because there is no hole drilled in it and it needs to be about fifty thousand seven inch wide so half of however why these are which in my case there are a hundred thousandths of an inch wide you want it to look somewhat like an L you can see that there and what you want to do is take however wide this is which is you know 1/16 of an inch then add another twelve thousand stew it because that's the standard gauge of a pen spring wire so you want to trim that amount off of this side not the side with the L shape but this side so you can see it here here's the one hundred thousandths piece and here's the fifty thousand piece that's in the shape of an L so the L shape goes toward the end just like that and then you still have clearance over here after you made that l-shaped piece you can go ahead and glue all of these together just glue two of them together and then the other two together and this L shape will go between both of those two glued together so I have both of those 16 layer pieces glued together which forms a 32 layer piece and I have two of them so this L shape will go between those two pieces just like this remember the L shape goes toward the front and the clearance space is over here you can see it's glued on there right now so you can put the other side on just like this so after they're both glued together it should look something like this and it should be three hundred thousandths of an inch tall five hundred thousandths of an inch long and one hundred thousand seven inch wide now you can see that's the 50 thousandths of an inch cut out right there so you just fill in all the low spots with the super glue and baking soda and file it smooth and then you can start rounding it just like this one after rounding it off it should look something like this so now you just need to find some sort of pen spring and they're all about the same thickness or gauge so all you need to do is modify it into this shape here so all I'm doing is just bending it around here just like this so I'm using something that's the exact same size is a 1/16 inch drill and it just wraps around it like that and that's what the groove is for and you'll see that once I glue this on after you finish molding this wire or bending it into the right shape you can check to see make sure that there's nothing coming above the actual surface of the lock and the little groove you see here remember it's higher up than the center because the center of this isn't necessarily the center of this so these locks are taller just like that and this is how this will be springing forward so check with both of your locks to make sure that the wire fits in both sides and it won't be pushing any extra going this way or else you'll have to shave off some more on the inside of here or on the inside of your blade and you want to refrain from having to do that so make sure it fits and if it fits glue this wall on here just like this make sure the grooves are facing the wall so the wall is glued on here you just have to line it up with the lines that were drawn on there and you can see how this lock works this one's already pinned in place like it should be so that would prevent it from going forward so I'm going to show you how to set up the lock and drill the hole in the frame itself so I just took this pin out right here and I replace it with the 1/16 inch drill so I can get a little mark here so remember the short part of the spring goes in the groove and this will go behind here make sure you push it like this and put it in that little groove that's back there I'm holding it in place with this wooden cube you can just hold it there with your hand and you just want to start twisting this just a little bit until you have a slight impact on the bottom and I'll just take it out and you have a slight impact or starting a hole you could say pilot hole and now I'm just gonna take this apart and you can start drilling it just like this after you're drilling it through you just go through the other side and use some superglue and reinforce it but I already did that so you assemble it by taking the other lock and you make sure that the bottom is pushed all the way up and these are technically adjustable you bend it more this way if you want them to be stronger and you bend it more this direction if you want it to be a little bit weaker so you put this behind and you find the spot that the pain will engage and it's good to have something like this so you don't break your finger well you wouldn't break it but you know I mean so now they both have tension and they don't take up any additional space it's very very convenient have locks placed like this so it locks in external position and when that is unlocked it goes back and it locks in the internal position you
