This video I'm tackling yet another project that has uses beyond just being another tool in the machine shop. It's a wallet! Kind of a weird thing to machine, but I've been itching to make one of these low profile designs myself and have been looking for an excuse to engraving some elaborate patterns on something. Join me for some good old fashioned drafting design and manual machining goodness.

Enjoy!

PATREON - Making a MINIMALIST Wallet || INHERITANCE MACHINING

Welcome back to the manual machine shop! In this video I’ll be making a popular everyday carry item, a low profile minimalist wallet. This will be a pretty simple wallet design including a money clip, but the machining process is anything easy. I’ll start this project like I do every project, at the drafting board, where I’ll put together a pencil drawing of the build to come. The wallet itself will be made of easy to machine 360 brass, and the clip of brushed 304 stainless steel. The body includes a fairly complicated engraved geometric pattern and to help with the engraving process I’ve created a fixture plate made of 5083 ATP (aluminum tooling plate). This project is very heavy on the vertical milling machine, but I do make one brief (and welcomed) visit to the metal lathe. #inheritancemachining #machineshop #hobbymachinist Patreon (Drawings) - https://www.patreon.com/inheritancemachining Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/inheritancemachining/ Merch - https://inheritance-machining.creator-spring.com/ Website - https://inheritancemachining.com/ And a special thanks to my "Micrometer" level patrons!

“Simply…complicated”. People often ask me why I listen to LPs, restore classic cars, and dote on a 65 year old wooden boat - sometimes my only answer is, “Because of the inconvenience and expense !” Simple, analog things always do seem to cost more, but the feel of skill made tangible cannot be replicated in the digital world; that wallet of yours will, thankfully, never hold a single Bitcoin !

I really relate to that sentiment. I find computers and tech cool and dabble there as well. But I also enjoy the separation from all that in the manual approaches I take in the shop. For the tangibility and skill just like you say.

Amazing! Great work!
