Making a MINIMALIST Wallet || INHERITANCE MACHINING
Vložit
- čas přidán 4. 06. 2024
- Welcome back to the manual machine shop! In this video I’ll be making a popular everyday carry item, a low profile minimalist wallet. This will be a pretty simple wallet design including a money clip, but the machining process is anything easy. I’ll start this project like I do every project, at the drafting board, where I’ll put together a pencil drawing of the build to come. The wallet itself will be made of easy to machine 360 brass, and the clip of brushed 304 stainless steel. The body includes a fairly complicated engraved geometric pattern and to help with the engraving process I’ve created a fixture plate made of 5083 ATP (aluminum tooling plate). This project is very heavy on the vertical milling machine, but I do make one brief (and welcomed) visit to the metal lathe.

I think the best part of all this is going to be Jake's reaction when he see's this video. He has literally no idea! 😂
Next video release will be Nov 25th. See you then!
Hope he loves it!
Actually I'll like to buy one without the pattern.
i just doday recived my first cnc mill (a makerdream evo one pro) since a manual mill ar lathe wouldnt fit dowm my stairs
and it really opens my eyes since im now able to do projects like this 😍
great looking minimalist wallet if you want the brass 2 tone you could fill the groves with something like nail polish then sand it flat to make the design pop even more
where is the video
What is your brother's middle name? I thought for a sec we had the same initials, JHS, but on second thought I think that's an A.
The only downside of this channel is that the content is so binge able but also so high quality that it understandably takes time in between episodes. I could watch your methodical approach all day. Makes me want to get back into tinkering
We should insist on a 24/7 livestream of his shop 😉, as a bonus he'd have free surveillance from his viewers... nobody is ever breaking in there unseen 😂
Jokes apart, I stumbled upon this channel a week ago or so, his voice is as precise as his machining, just perfect 👍
Exactly!
I've watched almost all the videos 3 times in 1 week🤣🤣
I'm jealous of the person who discovers this channel in 5 years time - they'll have months of content to get through.
Couldnt have said better.
I noticed that you are using a drilled and reamed hole for locating the card fixture on the rotary table. Although a reamed hole is very accurate diameter, they generally are not accurately located. This is because the hole location will be set by the drill, which even with a spot can wander quite a bit. The reamer will follow wherever the drill went - which is by design. Its why reamers are long and noodley. If you want a hole that is accurate diameter and location you’ll have to use another process like boring.
BTW not trying to nitpick. You clearly sweat the details so I thought I’d sweat some details too ;)
Very cool build. I like the rotary table work to make the pattern.
Taking a break from integration hell, I see? Good point I hadn't really considered. If some features end up off a half thou or so I think it's completely acceptable for a wallet. But good to keep in mind when it matters. You've got me second guessing the ~200 holes I made in a fixture plate though 😂
@@InheritanceMachining Agree its totally fine for this application. Where it really gets bad is deeper holes. I've had a 1/8" drill wander by 100 thou over a couple inches. That is admittedly an extreme case though - I've heard it depends a lot on how symmetrically the drill is sharpened.
@@StuffMadeHere Damn... was your drill made of cheese by chance? You just got me curious on how gundrilling works without drifting. Seems pretty universal that chip evacuation is a HUGE factor for straight drilling in all types. I imagine that's why you always see folks pecking away at holes. More than I do at least. Probably not a bad habit to get into
Would a mill address the wandering issue? Wondering if a set of undersize ground mills followed by reaming would be a good practice? Or do you just need to rough drill and mill with enough rigidity to both locate and take to final size?
@@InheritanceMachining My understanding is that a gun drill is an entirely different tool. Basically the gun drill has a built in "guide" on the end of the drill which reliably centers it in the existing bore combined with an external guide to constrain the drill from wandering. Sort of a hybrid between boring and drilling. Without those constraints - and a lot less stiffness due to the flute cutouts - twist drills are able to meander through the material without much resistance. I was told when I was learning that the evenness of the grind between the cutting edges on a twist drill was critical for getting straight holes.
This might be my new favorite channel on CZcams. The editing and voiceover is great, regular uploads, and a refreshing topic. This channel is going places, and I’m looking forward to it!
Woo hoo! Thank you very much!
couldn't agree more his videography is sweet and his asmr voice godly
Same here. Great quality content but more importantly great machining!!
Agree completely 👍👍👏
It's just the perfect mix of story and machinery
In all the movies with deep character introduction and tragic endings, I've never felt what I did just now, when I see the tap break. And the relief when you managed to get it out. Oscar winning stuff right there.
seening your videos makes me so happy
“After 2 hours and 2 minutes this part is finished.” Sums up his sense of humor and attention to details. My new favorite CZcamsr.
And yet he still forgot another line (at 9:58 two lines down from the top left)
This really feels like an old, established channel. It is shocking how new this channel is in reality. Excellent everything. I can't wait to see more videos.
I was absolutely certain this was going to turn into an ad spot for Ridge Wallet, lmao! Thank you for your incredible videos. They are a wonderful treat to watch ❤
I can't believe he didn't get a sponsorship from ridge wallet.
I didn't even know what that was before now 😂 Thanks!
I was anticipating this for almost 19 minutes. A nice segue like, "But if you don't have a traditional machine shop, you could easily buy a Ridge wallet with this 15% discount code, and get yourself or a loved one a nice gift for Christmas".
Missed out on a fitting sponsor.
Oh well, guess i will just support the amazing channel by rewatching some videoes again.
I am a manual machinist myself and the way you work brings me so much joy, I love seeing people passionate about machining and your presentation is amazing! Beautiful work and a great setup for the rotary table!
Thank you so much! There's a lot of capability in these old machines. Just takes a little longer 😉
I’m new to metal working stuff. But there is no way he was manually milling, with that preciseness has to be a cnc right?! Right?!
@@DG-ms5dz not at all, I am a manual machinist, the only difference is it can take longer, there are levels of precision you need cnc for but you are gonna be talking sub tenth (.0001") stuff, with time and practice you can make this stuff for sure
As an experienced machinist I feel the need to give advice. But watching your videos it's clear that you want to figure everything out yourself, and you are honestly doing an exceptional job.
I have watched all of your videos in a day and a half. Great work man. I wish I had a grandfather like yours or a machine shop I could pass down to my future family
Thank you!
This channel is so calming and a great thing to watch when you need something to chill or calm down with
How is scout doing a perfect impression of my face when that tape broke smh
(Thanks a lot autocorrect, I meant tap-
I think the most impressive part of this video was the drawing. Doing that by hand, and so painstakingly neat and accurately was amazing to watch.
I love the story to your builds. Dinner at a sweetheart's house, brother's birthday, grandpa's machine shop and teachings. Really adds character.
12:45 - "I know it is not gonna be visible, but that doesn't mean it can't look good in hiding"
- Nice one! 👍
I suppose now is a bad time to point out there may be a small missed line in the pattern? 😅
Absolutely amazing work as always, Brandon! I just couldn't help myself being a fellow "as good as I can possibly get it" type of person as well!
Thanks! There's actually an extra line 🤦♂️ 😂
really enjoying seeing the emergence of your own design aesthetic over the last couple of videos. between this and the bolt-action pen, you really have an eye for some elegant-ass looking pieces of hardware
😁 I'm definitely starting to work my way into my own aesthetic. Thanks as always, Tom!
@@InheritanceMachining you're most welcome :)
Being more of a CAD & 3D Printing guy, i am absolutely astonished by the precision folks like you are able to achieve *manually*. But what always completely blows me away are your drawings.
And the humour and puns are also top notch. Thanks for being awesome! 🤗
I love that "Cockxagon" Pattern. Really pretty, as always your drawings are a joy to watch.
It's insane how much I look forward to your videos.
I only wish they were longer!
Or there were lots more of them. I could watch this while working at my desk all day.
😁 Give it enough time and the old ones will be worth rewatching. Thanks as always, man!
I love how that turned out! That royal blue against bronze could pretty easily be achieved with titanium and two steps of anodizing. I'll email you some of the multicolor titanium anodizing I did for some parts at home. Titanium is a pain to machine, but I think the engraving could be done pretty reasonably, based on my own misadventures with Ti in the home shop.
Also, I remember in a previous video you had a tapping jig in the background, wouldn't those tiny holes have been the perfect test run for that machine? (or just using the tap in your mills chuck after drilling)
I really like that pattern, it gives me some ideas for an aesthetic I am slowly planning around on my motorcycle.
I ALMOST tried my hand at titanium on this one! I do have that tapping jig that I used before, and probably should have used here. I was thinking I'd lose the feel and be higher risk of snapping the tap. I was wrong 😂
@@InheritanceMachining that's been what has held me up from trying my tapping jig out. Gotta love taps for being so useful and stressful at the same time.
I love working with titanium, but machining it is definitely...challenging. I find if you can incorporate it into your project without needing many/any machining ops it's pretty fun. On the bright side it reacts to abrasive operations pretty much the same as normal steel (IE, use them if you can). Drilling it is slow and best done with throw-away bits in my experience. But hand forming it under dull red heat feels almost identical to working steel. On balance I feel like it's under appreciated at the hobbyist level. Most of the barriers to working with it come down to being aware of a few constraints it has different from other metals.
If you jump into anodizing it, let me know...I've had some fun with that, and with a few tricks and considerations it's pretty easy. You should have a few examples of what I was able to do at home as a first try sitting in your inbox.
I had a comment all lined up and ready to go until you said you made that as a gift. In my mind, there is no better gift than something hand made from heart and soul. Those by far are the best gifts ever!!! Great job. 😀💯👍💪🎁💝
Same here and I couldn't have said it any better than you have
Making gifts is the best! Especially when you know the recipients will appreciate that fact
As soon as I saw that hand wiggling so very much, I knew a snapped tap was in the offing. Those tiny taps just love to break! If there's one tool you need to add to the shop, it's the Big Gator tap guides. The drill guides are great, too, but those tap guides are a real life-saver! Can't recommend them enough, and they're made in the US!
lol....I bet he makes his own!
Dude, I was so excited when I saw this project. I made myself a "minimalist" wallet a few months ago and it's so satisfying the way my cards click into place, the weight of it and peoples reactions when they find out that I made it. Would've been clutch to have a machinist help, but my sheet metal donkey skills were enough :D Great work!
That's awesome! Someone was telling me once about a wrist watch they machined and casually wore to an interview. Long story short the guy ended up getting a job because of his craftsmanship.
Also "sheet metal donkey skills" has me dying 😂
That's quite a neat wallet! The brass and brushed stainless is a pleasing combination and the finish pattern is beautiful, even with the little swoosh on the corner.
That's a wallet I'd happily pay good money for!
It's so nice that you show your faults and the side projects, which often seem to build on each other in a fractal manner! For me it seems like you are showing off my reality in the shop.
I enjoy seeing such attention to detail. I’ve never seen anyone with such drive for this, it’s awesome.
one way of holding the brass in the fixture: superglue
just put it in the oven when it's done and you should have a clean and warpage free part
to avoid the oven, you apply painter's/blue tape to the work piece and the holding surface. Then apply the CA glue directly on the tape.
That's a great project! Liked and subscribed.
Outstanding work and the finished product is ace.
I did swear out loud when you broke the tap as well. You did a good job getting the broken section out without making the hole too big for the same size thread.
When that 256 tap snapped off, I winced so hard!
I felt that tap break deep inside my soul. Been there and NOT been able to salvage it. Glad you were able to back it out!
😂 That's a mistake nobody wants to make. I got lucky for sure
Seeing you work on your drawing board brought back memories when I first started studying, shortly afterward I was using CAD..
Watching that tap crack was relatable I did that one one of my first projects in college
I really don't like workshop videos that are narrated, but your voice is so calming and informative while not overshadowing the sounds of the shop which I love so much. Your channel has quickly become a favorite of mine; thank you so much for all your hard work and dedication.
It's been my pleasure. Thank you!
Very nice piece. As soon as I saw that tiny tap I knew what was coming lol Nice save.
😂 Thanks!
I clicked the subscribe button as soon as I saw that gorgeous drawing. As magical as solidworks is, nothing can surpass the beauty of drawing on paper with a pencil
Breaking that tap caught me off guard and got a legit LOL... well edited.
Nice to see the hammer make an appearance, too!
Beautiful design and execution!
Eat your heart out Ridgewallet!
Haven’t seen anyone freehand the technical drawing in a long time. Everyone I see uses CAD. Brings me back to high school when I took Technical Drawing Class so thanks for that
This is BEYOND awesome! Wow that is some talent, skill, art, technical all wrapped into a Genius! Whew!
Love your Voice and your cutting with the chilled music in the background it makes me realy relexed.
Thank u for the videos
I came across this channel 2 days ago(11/24/2023). The only downfall is that you don't have 1000 more videos to watch. But thankfuly, there's still more to go till im caught up to date. Thank you for making this channel and sharing with us your love for machining!
I really like the handmade drawings. you wouldn't believe what kind of automated drawings i have to deal with at work.
Oh I've seen some pretty bad ones haha
Watching old school engineering drawings on a drafting table is just too cool.
11:00 congratulations, you've carved multiple phallic shapes into your new wallet.
Jokes aside, this is extremely aesthetically pleasing
One of the best things here: no CAD, computer or cnc... Just wonderful craftmanship.
thank you 🙏
I love the stark contrast between the wholesome cooking channel music and the grimy reality of machining
I have say, the milling of the brass with the blue marking fluid was mesmerizing.
Gorgeous!
Thanks, Ron!
I love you using of the old school drafting table. Everyone just uses cad now. This is so refreshing. 😊
WOW! The craftmanship is beyond impressive
Thanks!
The part of me that loves templates/blueprints is ready to die happy seeing those pencil plans
Very cool wallet...would love something like this. I'd also love to see the pattern be of Penrose tiles. Not sure Penrose tiles would be as impressive on a small area like this, but it may be worth the effort
Nice to see you drawing and making the real project, good job
Cherishing the lathe work while it lasts, a man after mine own heart.😂😂😂 As much as I loved all the mill work being done, I'm a lathe guy at my core. Absolutely fantastic work as always. Still waiting to get some machine time to play with that multi start thread project.
That string of expletives was so real. I'm pretty sure I said the same thing when I saw it break.
The lathe is just cooler for some reason 😁 And there's always cool new things to try (i.e. multistart threads). Thanks!!
Only took a couple classes of conventional mill and lathe and went straight to CNC, but I know how hard it is to do what you did. Amazing skills ♥️
All i can say is WOW thats impressive I’m sure your brother will treasure that forever 👍
Thank you! He was flabbergasted!
There is something soothing and calming about watching your videos. I'm super happy I found this channel.
You nailed it!!!!.....It's pure passion for keeping up with old school machining methods
2 hours for engraving?! You're making me love my Okuma more and more. That wouldve been 2 mins for a CNC machine. You have the patience of a saint
A minimalist wallet is one of the best decisions for EDC. Carrying it in the front pocket is a new level of comfort. I just toss receipts in a box instead of putting them in a wallet for a year.
This is why I love this channel. You show us your mistakes, which shows us you're human, and then reaffirm your skill by doing something incredible, like hand-machining a design into brass! Most other channels I know would resort to a CNC, but the care and attention demonstrated by calculating and cutting everything by hand makes this project truly special.
I appreciate that a lot. Thank you!
i had the same experience.. after sorting and organizing (somewhat) the workshop in a tidely manner, i really urge for this everywhere in the house, at work and in life..
Oh thank god. I thought this was the most complicated ridge wallet sponsor deal ever, and I was going to scream if I saw another freaking plug for them; pretty much every other video I've seen this week has had one for them.
You might need to clear your cookies 😂
That was really cool to see, I have had a few minimalist wallets over the years, such a great thing, no big bulky wallet in your pocket, I really like your design, very simple but it works.
This might just be the coolest wallet on youtube.that precision though
😁
Get a Starrett double ended pin vice for those little taps. The largest collet fits the #4 and smaller taps very nicely.
WOW! That is amazing.
I pick certain people to aspire to for a quality that they possess. You are my aspire to in regards to attention to detail. Thanks.
Thank you so much!
The amount of time it takes you to manually calculate each dimension and dealing with fixturing/jigs makes me REALLY appreciate CNC machines. Great work!!
You and me both 😂 Thanks man!
I don't know what to call the pattern either. Technopunk?
All I know is that I like it.
I like that
It's amazing what some people can do with conventional machines, love the 180 degree radius
CZcams ads have broke me because I thought this was an ad for ridge wallet and I was going to rage quit the video.
The wallet turned out amazing and I cant believe you did it all by hand. crazy good.
haha I had honestly never heard of Ridge wallet before making this. Now it's all my ads show! 😂 Thanks
Love your work man. Really impressive.
I worked in a tool room at British Steel back in the late 80's and making small parts for random machines was absolutely my favorite part of the job. This kind of thing takes me right back to those days.
Love it.
Very cool. I imagine the variety kept things interesting. Thanks!
I love the side projects, I get excited every episode in hopes there’s at least one
For machining thin stock that deforms, one suggestion would be to use adhesive workholding. Double sided tape, or even CA glue dissolved by acetone or released by heat should work well.
Loved every second of this !
Immediately thought of James Webb telescope when I saw the thumbnail! Really enjoying your CZcams journey mate 👍
Now I see it too haha thanks!
Thank you for allowing us to live vicariously through your shop. I have utterly no need for a mill or lathe, but by golly these videos make me want one
Nobody every really has a "need" for a mill or lathe. But its fun to come up with reasons for having them 😁 Thanks!
Oh Jake is a luck boy. Happy birthday.
That brass will, over time, patina nicely too. Looks gorgeous.
Awesome ! Loved seeing the geometry come together.
Literal art Brandon, well done 👏
Since I watched the first video on your channel I'm absolutely amazed about the efford, precision and passion you put into your work.
Thank you 🙏
Once again another great video that inspires. Thank you for everything you do.
My pleasure!
One of the finest CZcams machining channels in existence in my opinion. While I love hobbyist machinist channels, this and a certain pantsless crowd watching channel I won't name ;), are the pinnical of CZcams machinist channels.
Edit: Make that 3, there is another one run by an Asian guy that's absolutely fantastic as well :)
Thank you 🙏
I somehow forgot to comment on this video, probably because there was so little to say, aside from kudos on another job well done. I have never seen a metal wallet before, which I'm sure says more about me than about metal wallets. Thanks for letting us look over your shoulder, Brandon.
No worries, Bruce! Thanks for taking the time to come back and leave a nice comment. It's always a pleasure
Wow! Everything is stunning, but that pattern is awesome! Amazing work.
Thanks!
I love your videos and I love that you have closed captions
Drafting by hand?! That's impressive! I know that's how all drafting used to be done but since I went straight into cad software when I started working I have never actually seen someone detail out a part like this. I'm impressed. You've earned yourself another sub :)
Thank you!
Got introduced to your channel yesterday and I'm proud to say that I have been binge watching it. You're seriously an inspiration. Can't wait to get started on some personal projections when I get my degree soon and move back home 😀
👏😂... "Extra delicate when cutting these threads...". Ahh hell... A lot of us may know that feeling I'm sure....
I love this channel, everything is so well done its relaxing and I am interested in all of the projects so far
Inheritance Machining your channel is awesome. Great content and i always learn something! Dont change anything! Also thank you! nice to take a break and chill.
Thank you so much and my pleasure!
wonderful work , more entertaining than Adam booth .. your all manual no CNC.. brotherly love great gift .. ENJOYED
I LOVE the drafting part of your videos. makes me want a draft table myself xD
Mighty bite clamps would've been perfect for this op. As is, "chef's kiss" outcome.
Low key thought that this would be Ridge Wallet sponsored ... Great job, awesome and elegant looking piece!
Not my this channel 😁 Thanks!
Another great video. I love that you also show your mistakes. There is something soothing about watching the process of machining and I admire your skill. Always something interesting to watch when you share a video. Cheers Rene
