Dan -

These are really nice! They should be very sucessful.

BTW your links don’t work . . .

Are you selling them on EBay?

Fixed the links

Thinking about selling the first one on ebay for the Save the Children Fund Raiser.

Will give away a most of them as gifts and see where its goes from there

Nice work Dan. Hope you get a bunch of money for the one you put on ebay for the Save The Children Fund Raiser. Great cause.

Just like Henry Ford, it’s a production line.

Now why didn’t I think of that?

Nice job Dan!

Don’t give them to collegues, or you’ll end up with someone’s cards for sure.

Looking good Dan! And being able to produce them quickly makes them a great gift item. Thanks for sharing the project with us.

Those are really neat, Dan. We all need some small products to sell.

So, you work for P & W? Years ago, I got my pilot’s ticket by twisting wrenches on P & W 600’s stuck on the front of Ag-Cats. Exciting times.

Great project idea, and superbly done.

Those turned out great, Dan! Now you’ve given me the itch to go out and make some more!

-- JP, Shelbyville, KY

Nice work Dan. It looks like you have one more item to add to your eBay sales.

What did you do to make the “hinge” for the lid?

I just looked at your link to PhotoBucket. You’ re really getttin good with SketchUp. I’m impressed

-- Thos. Angle

sketchup is a really cool tool.
still have a long way to go to get good with it.
seems like I discover something new everytime I use it.
With a laptop it is fun to multi-task … , watch tv, surf lj’s and cook up models with sketchup.

Those are really nice card holders Dan. I’m sure they will be a big hit with their recipients. Great work.

Hey there! Great little card holders…...gotta put them on my list of things to do

“Pratt & Whitney”?

Aviation related? Just curious

-- So Much Wood - So Little Time! --

Is there a blog/custlist/plan on building these someplace?

This is a plan from Wood Magazine

Nice one again, Dan!

Thanks everyone ! it is a fun project, but its not over yet. I fine sanded the first 7 on my 4×36 belt sander. Ordered some 180 and 240 sanding belts for my 6×89. should speed things up a bit.

When I get one ready for the Save the Children fund drive will post another project with all the sites bells and whistles.

Forgot to say … yes the cases are inspired by the Wood magazine plan, but not the same. I used it as an outline, but did not use any of the methods transcribed. No router was used and the dimensions are a bit different. Edges are handformed on the belt sander. More of a hand crafted look.

Dan – any chance you could post a list of your process steps for us? Photos and dimensioned plans are optional! :)

-- http://www.north40custom.com -- http://north40studios.etsy.com --

Will work on the dimensioned plans and take some more photos. I’ve taken a few, make a blog etc: keep-in-mind that some my methods my be the only way to make things etc. For example I made a small custom sled specific to this job for the table saw etc. took mabe twenty minutes and will be thrown away when done with it etc.

pep talk: Rhino glue is what I used. it cures real quick and enables working quickly, jumping from one operation to another and then back again.
