Default Re: The Hobo Holder - Part II

Very Nice Job - I can see the work involved, and why the cost.

For us money challenged people, how about one that has the a slightly larger coin diameter (Just at the maximum +.001) dimensions but with a band saw cut down to "the fulcrum bar" so that it can just be set into a vise and use the vise jaws to clamp it up tight. True, it will have to be undercut about 1/16" on both sides so that the jaws will apply clamping pressure farther up near the top (the attached jaws not the removable ones). It could also stick up about 1/8" above the top of the jaws. In essance just like the one on your site, just not as much machine work, with a heavy band saw cut allowing for the various diameters - if an overlarge coin has to be fitted, then a screwdriver tip in the slot would spring it out to accept it. This one is as simple as possible and still work (at least in my opinion, such as it is).

yes-no-maybe?
