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.
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.
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...
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.
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.
Awesome video!!! I’m really digging the I’ll show you 2,3, or ten different ways to make this, no more well if I only had a xyz I could do that too lol. Such a great inspiration my friend.
Really awesome build - I couldn't wait to check this out after hearing about you guys talking about this on your podcast.Love how you made your own thin veneer out of walnut too.
For springs maybe talk to your tattoo artist and see where they get their spring steel? Assuming she or he uses a traditional machine and does the upkeep themselves.
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!
Love the podcast, looking forward to this weeks. How did you print i without the supports? Does it really bridge that far? Did you put a spring in the 3d printed one, could have made it part of the build?
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
Interesting video and could only afford one way of doing it. Guess that is the old fashioned way now. As for where you are moving your website to, best of luck! I could not find your site and could not access any stores unless I became a member with a 14day free trial. Sorry didn't sign-up to find out what it would cost me after that just to see if I might want to buy something. Doesn't seem like a good strategy for us poor folks. Just saying....
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...
Walnut sandwich I wonder if it taste as good as a Nutella sandwich. Awesome videos new to your channel and great projects you make. Something for everyone. Lol walnut sandwich
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.
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.
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!
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?
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.
Nice with the sticker!!!! LOL, I threw my little idea out there to you & your other subscribers BEFORE I got to the part of your video where you asked for our ideas, 🤣🤣😁...

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

Make Something Amen
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.
I second and third that!! Use your imagination and modify to the tools you do have.
I’m actually looking into making a second video using a limited budget and tools. 😁
That hose clamp definitely makes it look gnarlier in a rugged, sick way!
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.
They all look so good! I can't believe that hose clamp did so well. Good thinking on that!
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...
I actually have made quite a few custom business card holders lately. Epilog laser ftw!
I love this. Totally cool that you showed 4 different methods.
Thanks Angie!
Great video! I might make some of these
Liked purely for “sand in the place where you live”
Nice build David, I'm still racking my brain for a spring idea.
Thanks for sharing.
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.
Nice job! I really liked how you showed 4 different techniques, and the homemade walnut plywood was really cool!
Could 3D print the spring and experiment easier with different thicknesses for spring tensions!
C&C Music Factory!!! LMAO! So funny!
Its good to see that you still sand in the place where you live... I feel like it's been a while since you've done that lol

No more sound cloud for the podcas?
Cool project👍
You could have used band saw blades as springs🤔
Love it!! Awesome project dude!!
Instead of a lid you could always make another one that this one slides into.
Question? What's a good starter reasonably priced planer to buy. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Dewalt makes a great planer that I had for many years.
Ok but can you make a version using pocket holes?
You could get your spring steel from a pull cord for a push mower the spring for one of those only cost $6 at the hardware store
I saw that you have a Rikon Jointer i would love to se a review on it.
I don't do reviews but I can say that I like it and haven't found anything I don't like about it.
Awsome thank you
Good stuff
Now I’m hungry for a walnut sandwich.
Spring steel from an old clock mainspring.
Great idea!
You could use a old bandsaw blade, with the teeth ground off, for a spring. Awesome work. I love the plywood idea.
Is the music your own? I know you compose as well.
It is! Link to my SoundCloud in the description.
Love the podcast, looking forward to this weeks. How did you print i without the supports? Does it really bridge that far? Did you put a spring in the 3d printed one, could have made it part of the build?
The 3D printed version was done in two pieces so I wouldn't need supports. And I did not put a spring in that one. :)
Dude, why in the world were you using your fence for that cut at :40?
Stink Bug. You could have made a video called "How to make your own Walnut plywood" The card holders turned out great.
Could you not model a spring into the 3d print?
Anyone catch the brand on that drum sander? David is going to have to do another shop update.
Joshua Tree Joinery it's a SuperMax drum sander - probably at least either 16-32, or 19-38.
Bryan Collette thanks!
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 loved how you replicated the design across different maker styles, different tools
Awesome! I really need a business card holder and this is a perfect idea. It was nice meeting you at maker faire!
Hey! It was nice meeting you as well! Keep up the great work!
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.
Really cool video. The plywood especially is really cool.
Can you just buy veneer ?
Sticker business cards! that's so awesome! Great video!!!! hope you have a great weekend!
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!
Brick wall: way better. Thank you for your good taste with all that.
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.
Roy Reynolds a feeler gauge is a good idea! Good thinking man! See??? BRAIN STORMING! I love our community 😍 lol
whats an ass rake?
That’s a topic for another video.
I think it's to remove Klingons from the Starboard bow.
Great variety in techniques! Some really good trouble shooting and design concepts in this build. Your cards are sweet too!
You could use aluminium from a can/tin to make the spring.
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.
Cool project. For the 3D printed version you could have printed the spring as well.

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.
4 different ways is cool but you didn't make it with your eyes closed and hands tied behind your back so this is an obvious unsubscribe
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.
Awwww. You beat me to it. I was working on this before Maker Faire! Looks great!
We both should have had ours done before Maker Faire!
1:30 perfect opportunity for a that’s what she said joke
I actually paused the podcast to watch this. I wonder if you could a metal clip from the end of a pen. Should be the right sort of springy-ness.
Ha! Yes! Thanks for listening and watching!
No thanks needed when you're putting out great content!
#NASTYASSRAKE! I about spit my drink out. Thanks for another awesome video and keeping them all fun. Love your channel bud!
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.
Oof I take it you haven't heard what happens to butterfly keyboards when they get shit under the keys
#nastyassrake #respectthewalnut #respecttheglasses #sandintheplacewhereIlive Awesome vid! Thanks!
David, sould be awesome if you used a wood filament for the 3d printed version :)
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.
I want a sticker! I would swap with ya David
Very Very great idea and explications... Thanks from France 😊🙏🏽
If you use mild steel like old hacksaw blades and pein hammer them to harden them they become springy.
I made one using thin textile rubber-band to hold cards and glue into between the plywood layers...
Cool project and I like the way you show several ways to acomplish the same outcome. I like the new shop. Keep'm coming
Wondering if you cut that take piece shorter on the top and longer on the bottom of that would help the springy issue
It’s smooth and really nice but i completely disagree with the red paint on walnut..
What about banding strap material? Or even short pieces of small bandsaw blades.
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.
Very cool! I liked seeing different techniques. There are always multiple ways to do things. Great vid.
WHO'S IN YA HOUSE....
Maybe just print a PLA arch that will compress to hold the cards in?
I love all of the Walnut recently! So classy, and it really pops against that sweet maple work bench.
Can I commission one with my design elements? What would it cost?
You can take this video and make a wooden phone case if you don’t need card holder
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!
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.
That's a cool idea! Definently need to try this
Nicely done, David!
you can do the spring with a thicker part of a water bottle
What is your website to purchase things off?
Glow forge wins Like your new background.
‚Walnut sandwich‘...and now I’m hungry 😄
Also: that rake looked creepy. Like a spider.
Cool project though!
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).

I could give some suggestions but I’m too busy looking at all my fancy tools!
Great project! I miss the podcast, when is it returning? I haven't seen it in my soundcloud feed for a good month.
Unfortunately it’s no longer on SoundCloud.
Make Something Thanks for the quick response! I went to makingitpodcast.com and happily found 3 new episodes to listen to.
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.
I would definitely do that next time!
You should get an app that I could listen to the pod cast on.
Ball detents! This old Tony style!
Use a plastic spring but make it replaceable
I wish i had a cnc machine they seem so fun to use and watch
Make an American flag.
Nice with the sticker!!!! LOL, I threw my little idea out there to you & your other subscribers BEFORE I got to the part of your video where you asked for our ideas, 🤣🤣😁...
