Remove wiring from switch. Notice the bottom part of switch is hanging on air

Hold it position before apply two ton epoxy glue, I use a small cable tie to ensure limited movement while epoxy guile take time to cure.

Verify unit is working after leaving overnight for epoxy glue to cure.

Just purchase a new on/off switch and notice the new switch have a small metal bracket underneath to give a better support and less stress when user press switch button.

LeatherMan multi function Sheath #2 Part Three - レザーマン 多機能シース #2 パート 3 - - LeatherMan 多功能护套 #2 第三部分

LeatherMan multi function Sheath #2 Part Three

レザーマン 多機能シース #2 パート 3

LeatherMan 多功能护套 #2 第三部分

This part three is about making the belt holder to attached Leatherman sheath to belt. The original design have some short coming, if you sit down the sheath cannot move freely base on the design. このパート 3 では、レザーマン シースをベルトに取り付けるためのベルト ホルダーの作成について説明します。元の設計にはいくつかの欠点があり、座るとシースが設計上自由に動かなくなります。

第三部分是关于制作皮带固定器，将 Leatherman 护套固定到皮带上。原始设计有一些缺点，如果你坐下，护套就不能根据设计自由移动。

       

However this sheath have a round pad attached to main body. It allow the whole sheath to move with it intention to allow free movement when user stand or sit or other posture position as it does not restrict it movement. しかし、このシースには本体に丸いパッドが付いています。これにより、シース全体が動きを制限せず、ユーザーが立ったり座ったり、その他の姿勢を取ったりするときに自由に動くことができるように意図して動きます。

但是，这款护套在主体上附有一个圆形垫。它允许整个护套随之移动，目的是让用户在站立、坐着或其他姿势时自由移动，因为它不会限制其移动。

*Note:- Velcro surface have the softer part attached to the belt portion. While the rough Velcro side are attached to the round pad.

Allow the glue to be cure before stick and ensure better adhesion between two layer.

Some of the tools used for this project.

Stitch one part of the side

Punch hole for tight edge, try use a wooden block (height depend on project) to raise for better position when do punching hole.

How to punch the leather and Velcro for the round pad

The leatherman sheath is on the right side

= = = = = = = = = =  other part of belt holder = = = = = =

Some of the tools for this project, the belt holder
needs these tools to punch a 7 mm hole on either side and straight edge cutter

 

It help is the line drawn to aid punch hole and cut a straight line.
The slot cut off is to match 40 mm belt .

The real challenge is how to cut a straight cut to match the round hole?
















Update 14th August 2020

Feedback recently from user, is this design the sheath mounted with Velcro is not secure. 

Hence need to have a different design to suit this case
