    It's a really cool video, I just don't know how useful it is since most people don't have access to 15 grand worth of tools to repeat it

    • @MakeSomething
      @MakeSomething  Před 6 lety +62

      So what you didn’t see was version 5 and 6. This can be done with a $10 saw. What I love about woodworkers is their ability to adapt and modify and come up with their own solutions!

      Can buy sheets of different veneers at most craft stores and make your own plywood with that. Then it's just simple cut, glue, and sand. Multiple ways to do it, even without the power tools.

    • @Thom4123
      @Thom4123 Před 6 lety +6

      I second and third that!! Use your imagination and modify to the tools you do have.

    • @MakeSomething
      @MakeSomething  Před 6 lety +15

      I’m actually looking into making a second video using a limited budget and tools. 😁

  • @mitchelllegassick2858
    @mitchelllegassick2858 Před 6 lety +6

    You could use a old bandsaw blade, with the teeth ground off, for a spring. Awesome work. I love the plywood idea.

  • @JusBidniss
    @JusBidniss Před 6 lety

    3 spring ideas: First: A bit of actual spring steel from an old wind-up egg timer or alarm clock. B: A sliver of bamboo, either cut from the actual curve of the tube-shape of the wood and sanded thin, or for long-grain, a thin sliver that you steam-bend (hey, thicker bamboo holds a steam-bent shape in a backscratcher, so should work for a sliver). Three: A bit of clear plastic, cut from the curve of a bottle of hand soap, clear-plastic canister of Twizzlers, bubble-card plastic, etc.

    Been rocking a front pocket wallet for about 25 years. I never realized you were extremely smart! Keep on keeping on.

      Hahaha! Made the switch about 5 years ago. Shortly thereafter my life changed.

  • @alexzandria4597

    That hose clamp definitely makes it look gnarlier in a rugged, sick way!

  • @mandytrosky1888
    @mandytrosky1888 Před 6 lety

    I love that you show there’s many ways to get the same result. Doesn’t mean ones wrong, just different. I come across this in construction ALL the time! This has been added to my to do list. Another great video

  • @branbelford7604
    @branbelford7604 Před 6 lety

    I've seen people make springs out of the wood. It seems to work pretty well for them. I cant recall any specific videos or what they were doing, but it works i promise.

  • @aflodstrom8
    @aflodstrom8 Před 6 lety +1

    I love all of the Walnut recently! So classy, and it really pops against that sweet maple work bench.

  • @busomite
    @busomite Před 6 lety

    I really like the walnut plywood. So many small decorative things could be made from this. The collar spring is brilliant too.

  • @wb_finewoodworking
    @wb_finewoodworking Před 6 lety

    Now that’s something I need! Since I don’t have a CNC, laser cutter or 3D printer your first method is what I’ll use. I’m thinking of using maple for the center piece of the veneer or perhaps use some scraps of the curly maple I gave for the outside and contrasting it by using walnut for the center piece. Maybe, since I have two businesses I’ll use both ideas.

  • @MJPImages
    @MJPImages Před 6 lety

    I used to have a metal business card holder similar to this that I used as a wallet for cards only. Can’t wait to have a go at this. Thanks DP

  • @SeanFoushee
    @SeanFoushee Před 6 lety

    If you can still find those little metallic cricket clickers/noise makers you can use the spring clicker (?). I think we bought a bag at a party supply store for my son's 5th birthday.

    Now that was some instant gratification. Listened to the podcast this morning and got to see the result of the brainstorming immediately after! Nice job!

    I loved how you replicated the design across different maker styles, different tools

  • @billdiehl156
    @billdiehl156 Před 6 lety

    Loved seeing all the different ways to make basically the same thing!

  • @brainfornothing
    @brainfornothing Před 6 lety

    I have a long spiral spring from an old clock, very flexible, hardened and thin; I cut pieces of that when I need. Good idea that sticker cards ! Thanks for sharing !

  • @adamglendye
    @adamglendye Před 6 lety

    Great project!!! Enjoyed seeing the same project 4 different ways. It made it accessible to all makers... unless they are trolls... now, if only you had 4 pockets for your business cards.

  • @thomasregan9787
    @thomasregan9787 Před 6 lety

    I would steam-form a strip of that plywood to make the spring. Keeps continuity in the build and is less likely to damage the cards.

  • @michaelking9758
    @michaelking9758 Před 6 lety +2

    Love the video. The only addition I would make would be to use some flocking on the spring device to prevent damage to the card and also improve the look when it’s empty...

  • @marvin3242
    @marvin3242 Před 6 lety

    I actually have made quite a few custom business card holders lately. Epilog laser ftw!

  • @FigmentsMade
    @FigmentsMade Před 6 lety +2

    CNC Music Factory!! Great video! Even if someone didn't want to make a business card holder there are so many different things covered here that surely someone could find inspiration to do something.

    I'd use a thin strip of spring steel to hold the cards. Just like the ones used for holding parallels against vise jaws on a mill.

  • @BruceAUlrich

  • @danross7441
    @danross7441 Před 6 lety +1

    On my micro RC rock crawlers I use retractable key clip springs for my leaf springs. They are tiny and obviously made of spring steel. Would work perfectly in this situation!

  • @boydmerriman
    @boydmerriman Před 4 lety

    Many, many years ago, when every thing was made out of wood (think wooden wheels and wooden teeth), they actually made springs (for pressure like this, not coil springs) out of thin pieces of wood. That way you can continue the wood theme.

  • @corweiss06
    @corweiss06 Před 6 lety

    Love when you show multiple methods! Love hearing you talk about the podcast. Back when I was just getting into this community I found out about Making It from one of your videos. Keep up the good work!

  • @royreynolds108
    @royreynolds108 Před 6 lety +2

    I have used a cut off piece of steel banding for a light spring. An inexpensive feeler gauge set will provide different amounts of springiness depending on thickness.

    • @cpepper5702
      @cpepper5702 Před 6 lety

      Roy Reynolds a feeler gauge is a good idea! Good thinking man! See??? BRAIN STORMING! I love our community 😍 lol

  • @marcclimie3004
    @marcclimie3004 Před 6 lety

    For the spring, maybe bust apart a cheap or broken tape measure, or buy a constant force spring from McMaster if you are doing a bunch.

  • @MakeWithMiles
    @MakeWithMiles Před 6 lety

    Awesome! I really need a business card holder and this is a perfect idea. It was nice meeting you at maker faire!

  • @ethanl9656
    @ethanl9656 Před 6 lety

    I made this project with modifications for strips of double sided tape I use frequently at work. The really big hose clamps have large sections of metal without the holes if you are concerned about the aesthetic. So it looks clean like the aluminum but more springy than the aluminum.

  • @davidnleeh4
    @davidnleeh4 Před 4 lety

    Food for thought. When you made the one with the hose clamp, you "could've" put two pieces (Two, to distribute the clamping pressure) of hose clamp inside, one towards each end that way they would not be seen when you gave out your last card. Just a idea...

  • @DumpsterMarcus

  • @tommurray3974
    @tommurray3974 Před rokem

    Hey, look guys at all the fancy expensive tools I have! Much of what you do can be made with hand tools and a little bit of imagination and skill. You gave me some ideas (thanks) but I'm still struggling with displaying my cards so I know which one to pick (I'm looking for a design for credit cards, not business cards). Perhaps a piece of foam runner would act as a spring?

    • @MakeSomething
      @MakeSomething  Před rokem

      I could give some suggestions but I’m too busy looking at all my fancy tools!

  • @timbeurrier6058
    @timbeurrier6058 Před 6 lety

    Very nice!! To answer your question how would you make a spring? Use steel banding. I own a sheet metal shop and the sheet come on a large pallet banded with steel strapping. The strapping is coated so it won’t rust great light duty spring material. Keep up the great work. Always inspiring!!!

  • @WayofWood
    @WayofWood Před 6 lety

    Cool project. For the 3D printed version you could have printed the spring as well.

    Nice job! I really liked how you showed 4 different techniques, and the homemade walnut plywood was really cool!

  • @dlfleetw
    @dlfleetw Před 6 lety

    Use spring steel... easy source is find a place that gets in metal banding straps and tosses them. Typically a tempered spring steel, more than likely free and you can adjust the temper in your oven.

  • @Thom4123
    @Thom4123 Před 6 lety

  • @TheEveryMaker
    @TheEveryMaker Před 6 lety

    Those business card holders came out great! I recently made a business card holder that has a hinging lid. It was such a fun project and by far my most viewed video. I did recently drop it though and the walnut I used broke in a spot. It's fixable, but I'm probably going to use the plywood idea for my future designs. Nice work!

  • @AutotechWoodworking
    @AutotechWoodworking Před 6 lety

    For the spring clip I was thinking a thin piece of metal, (like your second choice), with a spring at the bottom between it and the back. A little more complicated because of drilling a seat for, and/or just gluing the spring to the back, but the metal would be solid and could be polished to a bright shine.

  • @TheSkalski1983

  • @Mkayvi
    @Mkayvi Před 6 lety

    Could sand/grind down the aluminum strap to make it more flexible. I like the look of the hose clamp though. Rugged like someone else said. Would just need to keep a sacrificial card in the back because im sure it would get chewed up over time. Or maybe put a piece of packing tape over it. Great job on all 4 methods!

  • @jaycortez50
    @jaycortez50 Před 4 lety

    Wondering if you cut that take piece shorter on the top and longer on the bottom of that would help the springy issue

  • @seansysig
    @seansysig Před 6 lety

    If you use mild steel like old hacksaw blades and pein hammer them to harden them they become springy.

  • @gcdrummer02
    @gcdrummer02 Před 6 lety

    sweet build!! When I heard this project on the podcast, I was hoping you were gonna do a hinged one like a cassette case.

  • @Moostery
    @Moostery Před 6 lety

    If I was to make one, I would have chisseled out a groove for the spring to rest flush in when the card holder is packed full to allow space for a few more cards in the same amount of space.

  • @fernandoao335
