Playing Card Deck Holder
Makes passing the deck of cards around the table a lot easier. These are some of the Xmas gift requests I have on the go. Use to make these with 3D printer but the Longmill more fun & a lot quicker to boot. About 40 minutes (not including finish) vs 5 hours with 3D printer.
Holders are 177mm x 114mm x 24mm. Use a 1/4" up/down endmill for pockets (~17mm deep) & outer profile cut, 1/4" 90’Vbit for icons & text. The logo engraving on the bottom was done with my old Mill One V3 that’s been modified & retrofitted with a 5W laser.
These were all finished with Tung & Teak oil but will use wipe on poly if I stain them. Felt pads on the bottom help them slide on the table easier. Designed in Tinkercad, transitioned to Easel & now to Vcarve desktop. Still modifying slightly to remove sharp edges & corners or just tweaking.
Use whatever I have in the shop wood wise, although some woods will splinter if running too aggressive in the cuts/speeds. Also pays to double check spelling of persons names before doing the carve…
