Chief31794 Posted December 3, 2012 Report Posted December 3, 2012 I love money clips and these magnetic ones are the best. I buy the magnet sets from Tandy then cut the backs from 3-4 oz HO and the liner from Pig Skin Lining. I've got one I've been toting for a long time, it's completely shiney from wearing in my pocket. I got a piece of skin that looked pretty good in a remnant box from SLC and made several of the Aligator ones, in fact I replaced my old worn one with one of the new Aligators. However, I sold them all out at a craft fair last week. Anyway, these are some I finished recently. Chief Quote
Contributing Member JLSleather Posted December 3, 2012 Contributing Member Report Posted December 3, 2012 Nice, Chief. I like these little things, too. Made this one for myself, but a buddy "appropriated" it before I got it in the pocket (but I did get the C-note back) One o these days, I think I need to make something like this to add a USB drive - not sure about the magnets with it, though ...

Members WinterBear Posted December 3, 2012 Members Report Posted December 3, 2012 (edited) USB drives are supposed to be impervious to magnetic fields, so I don't think you'll have an issue. Chief, your moneyclips look great. I especially like the oak leaf. Edited December 3, 2012 by WinterBear Quote

Beautiful, nice job on that. Looks good, could you show a pic of the inside? I don't but I'll take one and send it in a little while.

Thanks WinterBear, I like the oak leaf better as well, but lots of folks like the basket weave stuff. Chief Quote

Bill Thanks Bill, I kind of enjoy craft fairs and I do a lot of Bluegrass Festivals. I'm a Disabled Vet and I don't get out to see folks much like I did when I was working, so I enjoy the fairs and festivals even if I don't sell anything, just so I can talk to people and meet new folks. Chief Nice work!. Chief, the two metal plates go on the money side of the magnet? SooperJake, I've never been told or heard which side they go on, I always put them against the leather backing, I glue them there with contact cement and I kind of liked cementing the metal plate vice the magnet itself, also the plate has a little "sharper" edge then the magnet so I liked it against the pigskin. I'm not positive how it was designed to be used, but this works for me. Thanks, Chief Looks good, could you show a pic of the inside? Sherlockian100, You asked for it, I went and done it.
