Well, I have been in the search for what would amount to be the last wallet I should ever have to buy. Upon my search I came across these. The problem is it was a kickstarter program back in ‘13, and I have been unable to locate another reliable source. So I figured “what the hell” I can make something and add my tweaks and have a group buy for them.
Right now I have zero idea what these will cost, but I am planning on going through the same shop that Mkawa is going through for his Ti plates. He has told me that they are not having any issues with doing the work on the plates. Plus it is close enough, I can drive down and pick the parts up.
Now for a pic of what I have come up with.

The main difference between the one I found and the one I am building is the hardware, and the recessed portion around the hardware. With the original, you could only route the o-rings around one side. With my design, you can choose between around both sides at each corner, providing a touch more security that cards won’t fall out.
Would there be enough interest in this for me to move forward with this project? I might adhoc one out of aluminum in my garage, minus the recessed portion due to me not having access to a mill anymore. This would be mostly to test oring sizes.
With the hardware I am choosing the plates should sit a little over 1/16” above a table on the o-rings.
I have two versions being made, one in 1/16” and one in 1/8” aluminum. These are prototypes only. After I have them on hand built, and tested, would anyone like to test as well?
