How to lay down wallet pockets straight and even repeatedly

[RockyAussie]

Here is a video showing off a device I made for quickly laying down wallet card pockets and getting them straight and evenly spaced. It is also used for lining up and attaching the strips to be folded and sometimes for line marking and pre creasing leather and cardboards etc. In it you will also see how I have converted a hand folding machine over to a foot operated in order to give better control and speed. I hope to load a longer and more detailed version showing more of the steps of the making of these wallets sometime soon. If you care to subscribe to my You Tube channel or follow me on LW here you will get notifications as new ones come up.Hope they help and please comment. Brian

Wow

That is a great idea. I would love some instructions on how to build one for myself if you don't mind, please.

neat idea

Ingenious.  You've really come up with a lot of great tools to speed along production and yet still keep things handmade.  I'm sure that many of these also have multiple uses.  I can see both of these tools in a LOT of applications, and may give a go at something similar using more - uh - home accessible materials.  The folder reminds me of a sheet metal brake.

Brian, being able to design and fabricate your own machinery is a real advantage. Thanks for sharing

Very useful, thanks for sharing!!

That's great.  Once a person has some fixed designs that they make, they would do well to invest in jigs/tools that make consistency easy.  Thanks for posting!

Is it just me or does that machine look like it can do 3 at a time?

That'll really speed it up.
