I appreciate you taking the time out to present your tutorial. I understood the basics of the coil spring method, but I had many questions you answered about the details.
I may have to give this a try. Thank you

Hi Papi,
Could You Give some detail on the Button,? Has it got a Spring inside to return it to it's position? __________________ ChrisB. chris@cbknives.com www.cbknives.com "If you are patient in one Moment of Anger, You will Escape a hundred Days of Sorrow."

Chris, Papi said in an earlier post that he uses a 1/8" dia. spring in a hole inside the button.
I just received 2 different types of 1/8 compression springs from MSC yesterday. I hadn't realized they were made that small, and had always used 3/16" springs, which forced the button stem to be larger. I've revised my button lock design and it uses 1/8 springs now. I'm in the process of building the first prototype using this latest revision. My thanks to Papi for the idea to use a 1/8 spring.

Should be just right, Chris.
I haven't seen a Bic lighter up close for 40 years!

Looking forward to seeing this finished. I'm interested in trying it, but I can't until I have access to a mill. Where do you get your button from? Did you make it?

G'day to all I am a new member and already like the feel of the place!!!
I have been making hunting knives for years now. But now recently retired and having set up a good machining shop I am keen to get started on folders and in particular coil spring auto's, so yes I would be hanging to follow your threads.
Good luck and best wishes to all...  Ps. If you know of any exploded views, plans etc. That I can get a look at that would be brilliant. Last edited by Billyblacksmith; 06-08-2013 at 08:25 PM.
