I couldn't engrave for 6 months due to a smashed elbow but at it again !
My wallet seemed to gather all sorts of unnecessary papers and always seemed to bulky so I designed and made this - machined on my pantograph out of aircraft grade aluminium and had it annodised bronze. The slot in the back allows you to use a finger to push cards up out of the "pocket" and remove the one you need. Have made two , this one holds 8 cards the other held 4(no pics of that one)
Gave this one to a friend with his monogram (DC) on it. Got a lot of interest from it and a few requests to make more with other monograms on. I need to find a "nice / relatively quick " border to go around the edge as the fish scales took me 4 and a half hours . The monograms are relatively fast to cut and the idea of them is to practice engraving and not make money clips !
Comments welcome
