Business Card Case

Great looking project Ryan. What sort of hinge is at work here?

I cut the hinges from the same piece, rounded them and then used a clock pin since it collapses nicely and fits any piece. I then attached the cedar over the top to hide it. The notch I cut is mostly aesthetic, with very limited purpose.

I like! Going to have to build me one now….

If you want to see true craftsmanship, check out Vagabond. His are incredible, mine is made from a scrap bin (why Spanish Cedar was sitting in a scrap bin, I’ll never know!)

very nicely done. How did you do the lettering on such a small piece? Thanks for posting

Look good. I might have to try one as a means to eliminate some scrap.

I too would like to know what you used to do the engraving.

I used a machine shop grade engraving machine. It was difficult lining it up, but it’s a pretty good engraver! This ended up being a gift to a friend of mine who is a mechanic, so I figured I would personalize it towards him.
