I decided to make a video detailing how to take apart a Swiss Army Knife tool, and then how to put it back together again... at least this is what it looks like for one beginner.
I've seen a couple of videos making everything look quick and easy. While I'm a pretty capable DIY'er (DIY Daphinator!), I seemed to encounter challenge after challenge.
For example, drilling out a rod to release the rivet. I used a diamond coated drill bit (for me the regular bit worked better) but it remained very time consuming and difficult to properly core out.
Per my effort I learned some things along the way.
If you are thinking about digging into a SAK project, then I hope this video helps you learn a bit as well... and perhaps a video with enough length to include the stumbles may help you avoid likewise tripping.
And if you are experienced, then please share your knowledge with me and others about your best practices!

I found a seller on Ebay. Supply is often limited, so may be sold out; keep checking back. Otherwise, Ebay most likely remains the best place to look for other sellers. If you are careful you can reuse the existing rivets.
