looks like a future family hierloom ! great job and great story

I echo Dan’s sentiment, although his are pretty nice. Now Paul, here is the toughie. Do you think you could lay hands on that FWW plan, or draw/type your way through how this was made? I think this is the sharpest looking card holder I’ve seen. I’d love to make a batch…

I agree, I would like to make some of those business card holders as well.

I’m not sure why you’d post that with trepidation. I really like it. I can see making some like yours.

I’ll look for the article. I’ve built a pretty large magazine library over the past 25 years, so I hope my memory is correct – narrowing my search to the B&W Fine Woodworking issues.

That is a great looking business card holder.

I went looking on the Fine Woodworking web site and on the 2nd Edition of Fine Woodworking DVD and I could not find anything for business card, card holder.

Sorry about that.

I can’t see nothing that indicates the need to be remake again. The lid and all the pieces fit perfectly and it looks sharp and neat. It is a truly craftsman’s piece, Paul.

will sketchup this piece when I’m done in the shop this evening. my wife gets off work late, so I’m taking advantage of my personal time.

Paul this is a really nice piece. I have a memory of this one somewhere too. You might be right. I have a large collection of FWW mags and recall the design from somewhere. Terrific piece to use up those little shorts that any project seems to create and we always hate to through away !

See the buzz your old piece has created, Paul! I hope Dan will link to this with his sketchup entry. I’m excited about trying these.

Love the project and the story!

Great story! This proves that we dont need Norm Abrahms shop to make nice things.There are many ways to tackle the same task. I made this same design for my dad,about 20 years ago,from plans in a book of projects by FWW. I will look around.

Very nicely done Paul.
