I'm so glad you showed us how to make it with tools that most of us mere mortals have or have access to (that is, you didn't use a CNC or laser cutter). I also like how you explained the stitching on the elastic material, especially for novices like me who don't have a sewing machine. Once the polar vortex passes, I'm building some of these for upcoming birthdays. Thanks!

I’m glad you enjoyed it. It has a very small number of components, but it’s actually quite complex. I’ve been making wallets like this for years now, and you’d be surprised at how the tiniest detail can make it perform poorly, or how the wrong stitching will cause the band to fall apart in a matter of days. Without the “stitch groove” for example, the stitch will cause the band to work its way off the notch, and then the wallet will fall apart. It took dozens of plate prototypes, and months worth of stitching and testing those plates & stitches to come up with something that would perform well, and last a long time. It’s been a labor of love...or maybe an obsession 😆 Thanks for taking the time to let me know what you thought about!

Oh my god, the fact you mentioned guitar or bass players talking about copper foil tape is killing me hahahaha!! Another place you can get it is at your local garden or greenhouse nursery kinda place. Apparently people wrap their plant pots with that adhesive copper foil to keep snails and slugs out of them. A marginally more expensive solution but might look nicer is conductive paint. It's a matte black paint solution that us guitar techs like using because it's easier to work with, but it might also block RFID signals and look a hell of a lot better. I have no idea though.

Good observation! I actually have that on my commercially available wallets (see ardntshop.com), but felt like it would be too tough to nail the depth in this wooden version...at least without a cnc machine. It's holding up well though, I think the fact that I trimmed it with a knife helps. It ever so slightly plunges the edge copper into the wood when you trim it with a knife, making it harder for the cards to catch an edge. Again, so far, it has no signs of wear or lifting an edge, so we'll see! Thanks for taking the time to give some feedback!

@@OneMinuteWorkbench Cheap card readers, like the ones in grocery stores and some lower end door scanners, have trouble reading multiple cards at once. For example if you have two hotel key cards with different codes on them and try to scan them both at once the door likely won't open. Higher end card readers, like the ones skimmers use, can scan multiple cards at once unless they are shielded. They're also more powerful than the touch and go ones, they can scan from several feet away instead of just inches. So if you're worried about that kind of problem then you'll want to make doubly sure the shielding is good. Did you try with just one card in the wallet?

I actually have a small company that makes wallets...this wallet, and all those small details, are the result of years worth of prototypes while trying to get the wallet company (which is called ardnt) started. Another detail that I don't think I covered in the video is to make this wallet exactly as wide a credit card, but .125" longer than a credit card. This gives enough room for the grooves that hole the band in place at the ends, but no room on the sides, which makes it easier to keep the cards aligned, and to get them out. I hope this helps!

You can just superglue the elastic. Cyanoacrylate actually melts the latex and becomes plastic when it dries, chemically bonding the elastic together, no special sewing required. No, it isn’t pliable like latex, but if you’re stretching it hard enough to break it, you have too many cards in that wallet. Also, “RFID Blocking” is a hoax. Less than 10% of CCs are even equipped with it (having a “chip” is not the same as RFID) and all of those made after 2010 are all encrypted, “hackers” on the street literally can’t steel your info with RFID, and there hasn’t been a single case of RFID theft in over a decade. Add a money clip and something to keep the cards from falling out the back and you’re in business... when I look at that thing, all I can hear is the never-ending “tap” to keep it all jogged straight. If you’re going to “copy” someone else’s design, at least make it competitive... if you actually look at a Ridge wallet, the elastic is only exposed on the edges, sandwiched between two panels, it’s not just a rubber band around a stack of cards... nice try though.
